Nantong Baopeng Fitness Equipment Technology Co., Ltd. proudly leads the way as the first company in China to develop and apply CPU (Cast Polyurethane) materials in the mass production of fitness equipment. By introducing the CPU casting process, we have set a benchmark for high-performance, eco-friendly products in the industry. To further expand production capacity and offer cost-effective alternatives, we also introduced TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) materials and injection molding techniques, providing a versatile option for customers seeking quality and value.
This article will guide you through the key differences between CPU and TPU materials, helping you make informed decisions about their benefits and applications.
1. Material Composition
●CPU (Cast Polyurethane):
-Made from liquid polyurethane.
-Non-recyclable but offers superior elasticity and resistance to damage.
-Higher material cost.
●TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane):
-Made from solid-state polyurethane, which can be recycled.
-Less elastic and more prone to wear and tear.
-Lower material cost.
2. Production Process
●CPU Production:
-Uses liquid casting in molds, followed by curing and pressure extrusion.
-Relies on chemical reactions, leading to higher material loss.
-Longer production cycle: 35-45 minutes per mold.
-Requires skilled labor and incurs higher production costs.
●TPU Production:
-Uses injection molding, where solid materials are melted and injected into molds.
-Based on physical reactions, resulting in minimal material loss.
-Shorter production cycle: 3-5 minutes per mold.
-Easier to manufacture with lower labor costs.
3. Quality and Durability
●CPU:
-Highly durable, wear-resistant, and less prone to aging.
-Superior elasticity and long warranty periods (2-5 years or more).
-Chemical reactions during production ensure consistent quality.
●TPU:
-Less durable and elastic compared to CPU.
-Warranty period of approximately 1.5 years.
-Faster production, making it ideal for large-scale manufacturing.
4. Environmental Considerations
Both CPU and TPU are eco-friendly materials, free of odors, and comfortable to use. They represent a significant upgrade from traditional rubber products, which fail to meet modern environmental standards like REACH compliance.
5.Cost
●CPU: Premium quality with a higher price.
●TPU: Economical option suitable for mass production.
Summary
CPU and TPU materials are a step forward in the fitness industry, offering significant advantages over rubber products. While TPU is more cost-effective and suited for high-volume production, CPU stands out for its exceptional durability and performance. Both materials meet stringent REACH and ROSH environmental standards, reflecting Baopeng’s commitment to sustainability and quality.
