Processing guide

Points to consider before extrusion To ensure that our customers get the best results from the IROGRAN® TPU that they choose, we’ve collated some handy hints to consider when storing, drying, coloring and processing our products.

Storage

• IROGRAN® TPUs come in pellet form• IROGRAN® TPUs are hygroscopic and absorb moisture from the air (especially polyether variants)•When stored in open bags, IROGRAN® TPUs can absorb up to 1.5% moisture relatively quickly•Once open, seal any packaging promptly if there is TPU left inside •Keep the feeder closed during extrusion •Re-dry the material if it is exposed to open air for a long period of time.

Drying

•Werecommenddryingusingandehumidifiedairdryersetto80to100°coracirculatingairdryer at100to110°c•Depending on moisture content, drying may take between one to three hours• If the use of masterbatches is required we recommend the use of a separate drying machine•Maximum moisture content should not exceed 0.05%.

Coloring

•Huntsman’s IROGRAN® TPUs are opaque or transparent•Color can be added via a masterbatch (one to two per cent)•The use of a non-TPU base masterbatch may cause surface issues due to incompatibility and because of limited added loading potential.

Processing temperatures

When IROGRAN® TPU is extruded, the temperature of the extruder must be set accurately and maintained at the same level. For IROGRAN® TPU grades (shore hardness A 80 to A 95) the tem-peratureatthefeedingfunnelshouldbesetatapproximately165°c.Thetemperatureshould beraisedthroughtheindividualheatingzonesupto195°catthecylinderexit.Atthenozzle,the temperatureshouldbeloweredby5°c.Ifthetemperatureistoohigh,degradationofmolecularweight can occur, which can lead to a deterioration of mechanical properties.

Extrusion parameters

IROGRAN®TPUsareusuallyprocessedonsinglescrewextruderswithascrewlengthofminimum24D. The feeding zone should be cooled and equipped with a hopper throat to ensure consistent output. Thedrivingpoweroftheextrudershouldbesufficientforprocessingthematerial.Thetorqueofthescrewshould be as high as possible to enable easy processing at low temperatures. The output of an extruder depends both on the torque and type of material. The output of an extruder with ascrewdiameterof45mmisapproximately15kg/h.Foranextruderwithascrewdiameterof90mmitis approximately 100kg/h. These are the output quantities when soft granulate is processed. For higher shore hardness grades, output quantities will be smaller.
