On the other hand, with the proposal of the dual carbon goal, more and more enterprises in the field of car coating film are practicing the concept of energy conservation and emission reduction step by step, and TPU materials with excellent performance, safety and non-toxicity, and environmental friendliness have also received more and more extensive attention and application.
Environmental protection properties of TPU materials
Environmentally-friendly materials refer to materials that take into account factors such as resources, environment, and ecology when designing, manufacturing, processing, using, and disposing of.
TPU is a colorless, non-toxic, odorless and environmentally friendly material, free of plasticizers and heavy metal substances. TPU material not only has excellent performance, but also has the characteristics of degradability and recyclability.
TPU has good biocompatibility and has been used in sanitary and epidemic prevention materials for medical isolation products such as medical isolation gowns and protective caps. At the same time, TPU products can be safely degraded in the natural environment at the end of their life cycle without causing damage to the ecosystem. In addition, TPU can be recycled and used to create more raw materials, including more TPU.
TPU is a petrochemical downstream product, and the raw materials such as polyols, MDI, BDO, adipic acid, and ethylene glycol required for production are petroleum derivatives or by-products.
Eco-friendly application of TPU car coating film
With the expansion of the global market, especially the rapid growth of consumption in China, the market for automotive paint protection film continues to be hot. TPU coating film has better protection than PVC, and is more in line with the concept of environmental protection, which has become the mainstream of the market.
As a leading film manufacturer in China, Kaiyang has been committed to the R&D, production and sales of high-performance functional films, and sustainability has been the concept that Kaiyang has adhered to since its establishment.
1. Provide high-quality car coating film products and solutions to meet consumers' requirements for product performance and sustainable development.
2. In the selection and control of raw materials, ensure the reliability of TPU source. In 2020, Kaiyang entered into a co-branding partnership with Lubrizol Engineered Polymers, and Kaiyang's SMM301 car coating film uses Lubrizol's professional grade TPU particles. Lubrizol's TPU polymerization and blending facility in Shanghai has achieved the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC PLUS) mass balance certification, and globally, Lubrizol plants have passed multiple management system certifications, and Kaiyang has co-branded with The Lubrizol Corporation to ensure high quality and environmental standards for TPU materials.
3. In terms of casting process, the production process is safe, environmentally friendly and efficient, and the energy efficiency of the device has reached or exceeded the industry benchmark level, so as to minimize carbon emissions.
Social responsibility is the eternal topic of enterprise development, and environmental protection itself has become the pursuit of consumption, which is the consensus that the whole society is gradually condensing. In the face of global environmental problems, TPU is showing unique advantages in sustainable development and environmental protection, new research and application is on the way, and the future of the car coating film market is promising.
Kaiyang is actively exploring and practicing to improve the application efficiency of TPU materials in the field of car coating film through technological upgrading, reduce the impact on the environment as much as possible while strengthening performance, and realize the traceability of the supply chain through the collaboration of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and jointly promote the sustainable development of the TPU PPF market.
