Lubrizol Launches New Breathable TPUs At Techtextil 2015
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Frankfurt, Germany, April 13, 2015 - Lubrizol Engineered Polymers announces it
will participate at the Techtextil international trade fair, to be held May 4-7
in Frankfurt, Germany. Lubrizol's stand will be located in booth A10 in Exhibit
Hall 6.1, where Lubrizol will present its extended range of high-performance,
breathable Estane(®) TPUs (thermoplastic polyurethanes).
The newly launched product offering spans across a wide-range of
breathabilities-SD values as low as to 0.1 and hardnesses from 75 to 88 Shore A.
Depending on the grade, customers can now enjoy the following benefits when
selecting Estane breathable TPUs:
* Superior heat resistance
* Very easy processing via extrusion coating process: no pin holes with most
non-woven substrates
* Very good bonding strength to various substrates such as PET or
polypropylene
* Optimized UV resistance eliminating the need for any extra stabilization
* Very high water column obtained with similar values before and after UV and
heat aging
"The use of TPU-based breathable roofing membranes is a growing trend in the
quality building market in Europe. Placed underneath an unventilated pitched
roof, breathable TPU allows homeowners to protect their insulation material by
removing any moisture resulting from condensation," says James Ruben, market
segment manager, film and sheet. "Breathable TPU roofing membranes are easier to
install and more forgiving than competing materials due to their ultra-high
mechanical resistance and total absence of holes. The product has the adequate
UV stability to cope with UV exposure before the roof tiles are installed
(irrespective of the color) and can handle the very high heat of a roof equipped
with solar panels while maintaining its properties over a period of 25 years and
beyond."
