Ether-based thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) with excellent hydrolysis resistance Enhanced performance for a wide range of applications Sample-ready experimental grade product BASF presents a new ether-based thermoplastic polyurethane: Elastollan® 1400. The new TPU series offers excellent hydrolysis and microbial resistance, combined with stable processability and good compression set. The material has excellent burst pressure properties and can be processed by extrusion and injection molding. The aging stability of Elastollan® 1400 ensures long-lasting performance – a versatile choice for a wide range of applications.

Since 2025, multiple countries have introduced a wave of trade restrictions, with the plastics industry bearing the brunt. Thailand announced a ban on plastic waste imports, Japan fully prohibited products containing perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), the EU expanded its 16th round of sanctions against Russia to include primary aluminum imports, and the Philippines proposed a nickel ore export ban. These measures not only disrupt raw material supplies but also reshape the global plastics trade.

This article systematically decodes nine key performance indicators of engineering plastics, covering basic properties, mechanical strength, surface and electrical characteristics, temperature/weather resistance, chemical stability, and cost economics. By comparing the performance differences and application scenarios of various plastic materials, it reveals the scientific principles and trade-off wisdom in material selection. The text emphasizes that in this era where materials define products, a deep understanding of plastic properties is fundamental for achieving product innovation and enhancing performance and value. It also looks forward to development trends toward high performance, functionality, and environmental sustainability.

TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane Elastomer) is a versatile material that combines the elasticity of rubber with the strength of plastic. Known for its exceptional abrasion resistance, weather durability, environmental friendliness, and processability, TPU is widely used in diverse fields such as athletic footwear, electronic protection, automotive components, medical devices, and even flexible electronics. As a "perfect hybrid" of rubber and plastic, TPU continues to drive product innovation and industrial upgrading, offering reliable and sustainable material solutions for modern life and industrial development, quietly reshaping our manufacturing and consumer experiences.

Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) is a high-end engineering plastic renowned for its exceptional strength, heat resistance, dimensional stability, and superior electrical properties. As a critical material for 5G communications, precision medical devices, and automotive electronics, it is indispensable in core components like millimeter-wave antennas, absorbable stents, and high-voltage connectors. We are more than just a supplier of LCP resin; we are a solutions partner offering integrated support from material selection and part design to process optimization.
