How to Select TPU for PVC Modification
Aug 31 , 2026
Successful PVC-TPU polymer-blend modification relies not only on material intrinsic compatibility (intermolecular hydrogen‑bonding between TPU urethane groups and PVC polar C‑Cl groups), but also on proper TPU grade selection and strict processing‑temperature control. PVC is a thermally‑sensitive polymer; its narrow safe‑processing window creates unique practical challenges for compounders. The gu...

TPU vs. TPEE Shoe Shanks: An Honest Comparison — and Why TPU Remains the Smart Choice for Most Footwear Brands
Sep 20 , 2026
If you've ever compared shank or support-plate options with a footwear material supplier, TPU and TPEE almost always come up as a pair. They get compared constantly — and for good reason: they're close cousins in the "moldable elastomer" family, and both show up across the same product categories. But they behave differently enough under load that picking the wrong one — or the wrong grade within ...
