    Description

    Product Name

    TPU Suction Cup Material

    Product Description

    A specialty thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer designed for producing high-performance, high-durability suction cups.

    Key Characteristics

    1. Exceptional Elasticity & Resilience: Recovers quickly and fully after compression for optimal sealing and suction.
    2. Extremely Low Compression Set: Excellent shape retention under prolonged pressure ensures long-term reliability.
    3. Superior Abrasion & Tear Resistance: Durable edges and contact surfaces resist damage.

    Main Applications

    Industrial heavy-load suction cups (e.g., for glass, sheet handling), robot end-of-arm-tooling (EOAT) grippers, high-frequency automation suction cups, outdoor or harsh environment suction devices, high-value equipment fixing cups.

    Processing Methods

    Injection Molding (Primary).

    Environmental Certifications

    ROHS, REACH. Halogen-free grades available.

    Color

    Transparent, translucent, black, or custom colors.

    Storage Conditions

    Strictly moisture-proof. Store sealed in a dry environment (<30°C).

    Packaging

    20/25 kg/bag.

    Item

    Parameter/Guideline

    Drying

    95-110°C / 4-5 hours (Mandatory and thorough to prevent bubbles and property loss)

    Melt Temperature

    190 - 210 °C

    Mold Temperature

    30 - 50 °C (High-gloss polished molds are recommended for a smooth, flat lip)

    Injection Speed

    Medium-low speed for complete filling and reduced internal stress.

    Critical Precautions

    1. Key IndicatorCompression Set is the most critical parameter determining cup lifespan and repeatable suction performance; it must be extremely low.
    2. Bonding Application: If the cup needs bonding to a rigid base (metal, engineering plastic), evaluate adhesion methods or use mechanical assembly.

    Purge Suggestion

    Purge thoroughly with ABS or HIPS at the lower end of the processing temperature range. Do NOT use PP or PE.
