TPU Color Masterbatch Drying
Problem Phenomenon
TPU products with added color masterbatch show bubbles
Cause Analysis
The color masterbatch carrier absorbs moisture and brings in water; when troubleshooting on site, verify item by item according to this mechanism to avoid blindly adjusting the machine based only on experience; this mechanism has been repeatedly verified by industry literature and should be confirmed first during troubleshooting
Solution
Dry the color masterbatch under the same conditions as the base material; choose TPU-specific color masterbatch; after adjustment, continuously sample to verify the effect, and resume mass production only after confirming stability; change only one variable at a time and record parameter changes to facilitate locating effective measures
Key Takeaway
Synchronous drying of color masterbatch prevents bubbles; after confirming effectiveness, solidify the parameters and practices into the work instruction to prevent recurrence; include this case in the defect archive as a troubleshooting reference for similar problems in the future
