Recently, at CHINAPLAS 2018, BASF will showcase a new application of Elastollan® thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU) to meet the needs of high performance and durability. Elastollan's outstanding resilience can be used to meet ore screens. , Functional requirements for electric vehicle charging cables and medical devices.
BASF will present cables that have recently passed the approval of China National Standard for Charging Cables for Electric Vehicles (GB/T33594-2017). With superior wear resistance, mechanical strength, flexibility and chemical resistance, Elastollan helps extend the charging line of electric vehicles. The service life of the cable ensures the stable and safe charging of the electric vehicle.
In the field of sensitive medicine, Elastollan enhances safety and health for more patients. For example, in oxygenators used for heart surgery, hollow fibers made from Elastollan film are connected with ends of a small polyurethane system to build a solid The stent ensures that the blood is accurately supplied with oxygen. BASF's thermoplastic polyurethane material hardly generates static electricity and does not impede the operation. Thanks to the characteristics of Elastollan materials, it is possible to safely construct ultra-high-precision fibers with a thickness of only 70 μm.
In addition, BASF will also display ore screens made of Elastollan. This type of ore screen is more wear-resistant, cut-resistant and resistant to tearing than traditional materials. Due to the long-term processing of the rock, metal and gravel, the ore screen is durable. The requirements are extremely high. With its outstanding durability, Elastollan helps to optimize the performance of the screen, thereby increasing the efficiency of the process.
