    What makes Thermal plastic Polyurethane (TPU) Tacky?

    No. I am not looking for a formulation. I basically wanted to know if there was a simple additive or procedure that could be done to make TPU more tacky. If there is not a simple solution and it is more complex then I will have to figure it out. I talked with an engineer at BASF and he...

    What makes Thermal plastic Polyurethane (TPU) Tacky?

    @Demon3 This product would compete with the command strips. Also they are one time use. After you remove them they are trash and a replacement strip must be put in. This product would only need to be washed and reused.

    Solidworks Mouse Customization

    @Joelbeebe: Which mouse do you have from logitech? What version of set point are you running? I know my middle wheel button is tough to click dead on due to the scroll right and left buttons connected to the middle wheel. I also moved the middle button to the thumb button and changed what the...

    What makes Thermal plastic Polyurethane (TPU) Tacky?

    Chris, My company already sells a product that works on smooth surfaces at over 20 pounds. I need a product that works on painted drywall and is reusable. That is why I turned to TPU. I needed a product that acted like a permanent adhesive but was not permanent. I know how tacky I want the...

    What makes Thermal plastic Polyurethane (TPU) Tacky?

    Demon3, That test will not work as the point of this TPU is to stick it to a wall and hang weight from it. I macgyvered together a stick on hook from a consumer product called Clingo. I was able to hang 10lbs vertically from the test product for several days and 12 lbs for several hours after...

    Solidworks Mouse Customization

    At a quick check I can not find a solution inside the solidworks software. I use a Logitech mouse which allows me to change the middle button to a different button on the mouse so that I dont accidentally double click. You can use the software to make the changes for specific programs so mouse...

    2011 slow to save dwgs or models

    I have had this problem from our network at my work. Do you use Enterprise PDM? I think your best option is try copying the files to your local machine make a change and save the file. If you see a similar slow down you can assume its your computer or software slowing things down. If not...

    What makes Thermal plastic Polyurethane (TPU) Tacky?

    Thanks patprimmer. My vendor is not obscuring me and the vendor is our best vendor and supplies more than 60% of our products, so replacing them would be very costly. The vendor and supplier are both based in china so there is a language barrier for me as I only speak English. Guess I need to...

    What makes Thermal plastic Polyurethane (TPU) Tacky?

    Thanks to shoo650 and dwightdixon for the reply. In my testing and trial and error I have come to the same conclusion that hardness and tackyness are linked. Dwightdixon, getting in touch with my urethane supplier is touch as I do not deal directly with the supplier. My vendor does but is...

    What makes Thermal plastic Polyurethane (TPU) Tacky?

    Hello, I am working on a project that involves sticky/tacky TPU. For my companies first product the level of tackiness was sufficient, but now my project manager wants to make another product using tacky TPU and our current stock is not tacky enough. We have found a similar polymer that...
