Abstract
A family of thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) blends is being developed to compete in the flexible automotive bumper fascia market. Features of these blends include paintability without adhesion promoter or primer, ease of processing, outstanding low temperature impact strength, good mar resistance, and excellent property retention upon recycling. Laboratory and application performance data indicate that painted TPU/ABS Blend XT2100 regrind can be incorporated up to a 25% level into flexible thermoplastic fascia without sacrificing impact resistance.
