Laripur 6560

PTMG polyether TPU at Shore 65 D with very good resistance to hydrolysis and microbial attack. Injection moulded ski boots and technical items.

Home Products COIM Laripur 6560

Laripur 6560 is a PTMG polyether based TPU at Shore 65 D, the hardest polyether on the Shore D scale in this catalog apart from 71D60. COIM states that it has very good resistance to hydrolysis and microbial attack, and designed it for injection moulding of ski boots and technical items.

Tensile strength is 9600 psi at 340 percent elongation, with tear strength of 175 N/mm and a flexural modulus of 57000 N per square mm. The VICAT softening point is 280 degrees F.

COIM's sheet for this grade publishes only a moulding profile.

Applications

Ski boots

COIM's first listed use.

Technical injection moulded parts

Named on the data sheet.

Structural parts in wet service

Where a flexural modulus of 57000 N per square mm is needed and the part stays damp.

Handling and dispersion

Dry before processing at 175 to 195 degrees F for 3 hours, preferably in a dehumidifying drier fed by air with a dew point below minus 22 degrees F. Skipping the drying step is the most common cause of splay and bubbles in a TPU part.

COIM's suggested moulding profile runs zone 1 at 395 degrees F, zone 2 at 405, zone 3 at 415 and the nozzle at 405. Machine, screw and downstream equipment all move these, so treat them as a starting point.

Packaging, storage, and regulatory status

Package sizes: 25 kg bags, or 500 kg and 1000 kg octabins.

Storage: Six months from the date of delivery, in the original sealed packaging, in a dry well ventilated place out of direct sun.

COIM does not consider the product dangerous. Read the safety data sheet before handling.

Frequently asked questions

Is Laripur 6560 polyester or polyether?

PTMG polyether. COIM states very good resistance to hydrolysis and microbial attack for this grade.

What is the polyester equivalent?

Laripur 6325 at Shore 62 D. It is slightly stronger at 10000 psi tensile against 9600 psi and considerably stiffer, 53000 N per square mm against 57000 here, so the two are close in stiffness and differ mainly in wet service behaviour.

Is it still an elastomer at Shore 65 D?

It behaves as a rigid engineering plastic. Elongation at break is 340 percent and the flexural modulus is 57000 N per square mm. It is chosen for stiffness and tear resistance, not for rebound.

Can it be extruded?

COIM's published sheet for 6560 carries a moulding profile only. For a hard polyether with a released extrusion version, look at Laripur 71D60EG at Shore 70 D.

Can I get the TDS and SDS for Laripur 6560?

Yes. We send the Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) on request, in the manufacturer's current revision. Use Request TDS or SDS above and tell us what your qualification review needs.
