TPU material is a recyclable material. At present, there are more than 40 million old cars in my country every year, and 10 million cars need to be rebuilt and scrapped every year. Advanced countries in Europe and the United States have clearly put forward indicators of the recycling rate and utilization rate of plastic parts for the automotive industry, requiring that the recycling rate of automotive plastics should be over 95%, and the utilization rate should be over 90%. China's National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Environmental Protection Bureau jointly formulated a technical policy for auto parts recycling. "In 2017, my country's auto recycling rate reached more than 95% and the utilization rate reached 85%. TPU is a recyclable thermoplastic elastomer, but at present, the annual consumption of TPU materials in my country's automobile industry is only about 30,000 tons, and composite materials such as TPU plastic alloys undoubtedly provide new and huge new TPU elastomer materials in the application of automobiles. Market opportunities. In developed countries, about 16% of TPU users are from the automotive industry.

TPU material has wear resistance, bending fatigue resistance, high elasticity, and can be used for various automotive parts, such as gear lever handles, bushings and washers of various couplings, wire harness connectors, spiral telescopic wires, cable jackets , toothed belts, steering rod sheaths and gaskets, suspension joints, hydropneumatics, suspension diaphragms, damping diaphragms, shock absorbers, spring limit blocks, etc. It can also be used in combination with other plastics or rubbers for automotive bumpers, airbags, dust covers and other parts.

Of course, on the automotive wiring harness bushings and gaskets, TPU is oil-resistant and shock-resistant, which can effectively protect the electrical safety of automotive circuits and prevent other oils from corroding.

TPU material can also make invisible car cover for car owners with high personalization requirements. In order to protect the paint surface of the car, at the same time, the car can have a waxing effect in the sun.

At present, TPU materials and 3D printing technology SLS technology are also advancing by leaps and bounds. With the continuous introduction of new products and the gradual expansion of high-end applications, it is believed that its application in the automotive field will be greatly improved, which will become an important way to reduce the weight of automobiles.
