Home / News / What are the unique advantages of M-TPU Foam Sheet compared to traditional EVA or PE foam?
1. Physical performance advantages
M-TPU Foam Sheet has significantly better physical properties than traditional EVA or PE foam. Its unique microporous structure gives it higher density and stronger resilience, which allows it to quickly return to its original shape when subjected to impact or pressure, thereby maintaining long-term stable performance. The wear and tear resistance of M-TPU Foam Sheet is also far greater than that of EVA or PE foam, and it can maintain its integrity in various harsh environments.
2. Chemical performance advantages
M-TPU Foam Sheet has excellent chemical resistance and can resist the erosion of a variety of chemical substances, such as acids, alkalis, greases, solvents, etc. This performance makes it more stable and reliable when handling various chemicals or in applications in chemical environments. Compared with EVA and PE foam, M-TPU Foam Sheet has better oxidation resistance. Even after long-term exposure to oxygen or other oxidants, its performance remains stable and is not prone to aging or degradation. The dense structure and low porosity of M-TPU Foam Sheet give it excellent resistance to penetration. This means that it can effectively prevent the penetration of liquids, gases and other small molecular substances, maintaining the stability and integrity of the internal structure.
3. Advantages of environmental adaptability
M-TPU Foam Sheet also performs well in terms of environmental adaptability. Its excellent weather resistance and temperature resistance allow it to maintain stable performance over a wide temperature range. Whether in extremely cold low-temperature environments or hot high-temperature environments, M-TPU Foam Sheet can maintain its elasticity and toughness and will not crack or deform due to temperature changes. M-TPU Foam Sheet also has good waterproof and moisture-proof properties and can be used in humid environments for a long time without being affected.
4. Application field advantages
The wide range of applications of M-TPU Foam Sheet is also one of its unique advantages. Due to its excellent physical properties, chemical properties and environmental adaptability, M-TPU Foam Sheet is widely used in various fields. In the shoe material industry, M-TPU Foam Sheet can be used as a cushioning material for shoe soles to provide a comfortable wearing experience; in the automotive industry, it can be used as a sound insulation and shock-absorbing material to improve the comfort and safety of cars; in the construction industry Among them, M-TPU Foam Sheet can be used as thermal insulation material to improve the energy efficiency and environmental protection performance of buildings.
5. Sustainability Advantages
Renewable raw materials: The raw materials of M-TPU Foam Sheet mainly come from renewable resources, such as vegetable oil, bio-based polyols, etc. This renewable nature allows M-TPU Foam Sheet to have a lower environmental impact during the production process, while helping to reduce dependence on limited petroleum resources.
Long-term stability: M-TPU Foam Sheet has excellent physical and chemical properties, including high wear resistance, tear resistance and chemical resistance. These characteristics enable M-TPU Foam Sheet to maintain stable performance during long-term use, reducing the need for frequent replacement due to material performance degradation, thereby improving its sustainability.
Recyclability: M-TPU Foam Sheet has good recyclability. After reaching the end of its service life, M-TPU Foam Sheet can be recycled and reused through physical or chemical methods, reducing the negative impact on the environment. This recyclability not only helps reduce the pressure on landfills and incineration, but also provides raw materials for the production of new M-TPU Foam Sheet, achieving resource recycling.
