APS Elastomers’ Zythane® TPUs for Automotive Dunnage Applications
Shipping finished products
requires dunnage that has superior flexibility and elastic memory to insure
parts arrive secure and intact. Physical properties, including good tear,
cut, and abrasion resistance, excellent hydrolytic stability and superb elastic
memory has rendered Zythane® 4045D and 4060D the ideal, cost-effective TPU
material for injection molded dunnage required for the safe shipment and
handling of automotive parts.
“In
the past few years, APS Elastomers has positioned itself in many aspects of
developing and supplying TPU material for automotive dunnage”, says Stephane
Morin, owner of APS Elastomers in Romulus, Michigan. Automotive dunnage
products include trays, totes, containers, racks, separator bars, flippers,
conveyor hooks, support brackets, and cushion bumpers.

| Zythane TPU for Automotive Dunnage |
Available in natural or
colored pellets, Zythane® 4045D and 4060D are polyester-based TPUs with a Shore
Hardness ranging from 95A-62D. Due to its formulation, Zythane TPU allows
for faster processing and lower power requirements due to easier flowing
characteristic. “Our customers can expect higher production rates compared to
typical TPUs at similar hardness levels”, says Morin. Specifically formulated
for injection molding applications, these grades offer excellent abrasion
resistance and toughness, as well as good hydrolytic stability, oil, fuel and
solvent resistance.
In addition to dunnage,
other applications include shoe soles, ski and skate boot shells, caster
wheels, animal tags, good overmolded adhesion to certain EP (ex: PC, ABS,
PMMA), couplings, gaskets and seals, tool handles, industrial parts, mobile
phone cases, armrests, golf disks, and mining screens.
“Our Zythane® TPU
portfolio is the most versatile and cost-effective on the market”, adds Morin.
