Abstract: A thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) foam product with high flatness, and a preparation method and a use thereof are provided. The TPU foam product is prepared by processing aliphatic thermoplastic polyurethane (ATPU) beads with a melting range of 20° C. to 50° C. and a melting point of 90° C. to 160° C. by a physical gas foaming process to obtain foamed ATPU beads and heating the foamed ATPU beads with a heat source to make the foamed ATPU beads fused. The TPU foam product with high flatness has a density of 0.08 g/cm3 to 0.8 g/cm3 and a flatness value of less than 2 mm, and the flatness value is determined by a fixed-length ruler. The TPU foam product not only has high flatness such that diversified designs are allowed for a surface of the product, but also has high resilience.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing a foamed thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer product, comprising the steps of: 1) coating a binder: coating the binder on the surfaces of expandable thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer particles; 2) curing and molding: adding the product obtained from step 1) to a mold and then placing it in a vulcanizing machine for curing and molding; and 3) cooling and setting: cooling the mold after the molding in step 2) to obtain the product of the present invention. By means of pre-coating the binder on the surfaces of expanded thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer particles according to the present invention, the weight of the binder can be reduced, and the properties of the expanded thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer particles can be utilized to the maximum extent.

Abstract: A yellowing-resistant thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) foam material and a preparation method thereof are provided. The yellowing-resistant TPU foam material includes a TPU prepared by subjecting an aliphatic diisocyanate, a chain extender, a polyol, an antioxidant, an ultraviolet (UV) absorber, and a UV light stabilizer to a reaction, where the TPU has a softening point of 90° C. to 160° C., a Shore hardness of 40 A to 98 A, and a melt index of 5 to 250 g/10 min. The prepared yellowing-resistant TPU foam material has excellent yellowing resistance, controllable foaming density, and uniform foam cell size.
