Two-Step TPU Prepolymer and Chain-Extension Solution

Coordinate a defined prepolymer stage with subsequent chain extension and TPU finishing.

Production objective

Build the Process Around Your Product

Coordinate a defined prepolymer stage with subsequent chain extension and TPU finishing.

Product and material first

Start with the finished-product drawing, material system and acceptance requirements. The process route and equipment configuration are assessed together.

Capacity across the whole process

Define output with preparation, forming/reaction, curing, handling and inspection included. The slowest stage and product changes determine practical line capacity.

The proposal separates upstream prepolymer preparation from Haifeng multi-component metering/mixing and agreed downstream auxiliaries. Casting and extrusion stages are selected by the actual route.

Manufacturing workflow

From Preparation to Qualified Product

A planning sequence for the specified route. Final settings and acceptance conditions are established through material and part review.

01

Define the prepolymer route

Agree chemistry, prepolymer acceptance and whether preparation is supplied upstream or included in the scope.

SETTINGS CONFIRMED FOR THE SELECTED MATERIAL AND PRODUCT
02

Prepare or receive prepolymer

Specify conditioning, moisture control, hold limits and transfer interfaces.

SETTINGS CONFIRMED FOR THE SELECTED MATERIAL AND PRODUCT
03

Meter chain-extension feeds

Coordinate prepolymer, extender and optional additives with recipe and viscosity requirements.

SETTINGS CONFIRMED FOR THE SELECTED MATERIAL AND PRODUCT

Equipment roles

Core Equipment and Integrated Interfaces

The proposal separates upstream prepolymer preparation from Haifeng multi-component metering/mixing and agreed downstream auxiliaries. Casting and extrusion stages are selected by the actual route.

Project design

Coordinate the Equipment With the Process

Evaluate repeatability, handling and acceptance across the full workflow.

Material-specific configuration

Component circuits, thermal control, mixing and receiving equipment are matched to the approved chemistry and processing window.

Defined interfaces

The proposal separates upstream prepolymer preparation from Haifeng multi-component metering/mixing and agreed downstream auxiliaries. Casting and extrusion stages are selected by the actual route.

Documented acceptance

The proposal defines trials, process records, inspection responsibilities and product-specific acceptance conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clarify the production route before selecting a machine.

Is an elastomer prepolymer reactor automatically a TPU reactor? +
Suitability depends on the actual TPU chemistry, reaction control and transfer requirements. An existing CPU reactor product is not automatically selected as a compatible TPU upstream unit.
What information is needed to size the production line? +
Share the finished-product drawing or sample, material supplier data, target output per shift or hour, automation requirements and factory conditions. Product changes, cure residence and downstream handling must be included in the capacity review.
What is included in the equipment package? +
The proposal separates upstream prepolymer preparation from Haifeng multi-component metering/mixing and agreed downstream auxiliaries. Casting and extrusion stages are selected by the actual route.
Are cycle time and finished-product performance fixed? +
They are established for the selected material, geometry, tooling and acceptance tests. The proposal identifies target conditions and the validation needed before a final performance commitment.
