塞包里天天磨,外壳磨花还低温发脆。充电宝外壳耐磨不够,容量再大也白搭。
结论先摆:充电宝外壳,耐磨低温绑一起
充电宝外壳包胶是“天天磨的件”:包里磨、手上磨。
材料要耐磨、低温不脆、阻燃——结论先给:充电宝外壳包胶用 SEBS 基 TPE 是主流;低温要求高,TPU 或复合优先。
充电宝外壳最大的坑:低温发脆,是结晶在作怪。结晶度高,低温就脆——结晶,是低温的开关。
充电宝外壳是功能件:磨花、开裂都是问题。材料选对,充电宝才耐用——功能件,别省料钱。
TPE凭啥扛磨:耐磨可加,阻燃可做
充电宝外壳包胶用 TPE 的理由:耐磨可做、阻燃可做、包胶成熟、效率高——四条合起来,适合充电宝外壳。
耐磨是核心:包里天天磨。耐磨(磨耗)数据按实际使用验——磨花,就是问题。
低温不能省:冬天发脆。低温冲击(-20℃)写进验收,结晶度高的料先筛掉——低温窗口,按使用地选。
磨一天冻它:包里摩擦、冬冻、发热
摩擦工况:包里磨、口袋磨。耐磨数据要验——磨花,都是问题。
低温工况:冬天户外。低温冲击数据要验——发脆,就是问题。

高端耐低温款 TPU,常规 TPE——按定位选。
两个坑:结晶误判、耐磨造假
坑一:结晶误判。冬天一摔就裂,别只怪料脆——先查结晶度,再谈改配方。
坑二:耐磨虚标。报告写耐磨,实际磨花——耐磨按实测验收。
坑三:阻燃漏测。充电宝是电件——阻燃等级,必测。
验收三问:耐磨、低温、阻燃
三问:耐磨按什么方法、低温按多少度、阻燃按什么等级。一验:实际包内实测——三问一验,供应商底细清楚。
低温验证要先行:低温发脆,是结晶在作怪。先测低温窗口,再谈耐磨——低温,是外壳的生死线。
留样要成习惯:每批留样,耐磨低温按批次复测。批次换料先对比再放量——批次稳,客诉少。
冬天充电宝在车里能低到 -20℃,低温冲击不开裂才是真过关。 别按实验室一刀切,按北方实际使用温度定低温线。
充电宝贴着发热壳体,包胶长期受热就软化发粘。 先问清充电时表面温度,按这个温度做 70℃×1000h 耐热,无软化才放行。
包胶和硬壳不是越厚越好,厚度比失衡就两头不讨好。 太厚手感发闷,太薄跌落缓冲不足,按跌落高度定配比。
包里和钥匙摩擦的刮花,平面磨耗测不出来。 磨耗 ≤150mg 之外,再加一道钥匙刮擦看外观,别让新件就带痕。
防摔高度按实际使用定,工地两米、桌面半米。 别拿统一 0.8 米数据套所有场景,按用户真实跌落高度验收。

Rubbing in the bag every day, the case gets scratched and becomes brittle at low temperatures. The power bank's case isn't durable enough, and no matter how big the capacity is, it's useless.
Conclusion first: the power bank casing, abrasion-resistant and low-temperature, tied together
The charging case is covered with a rubber coating and is a 'part that gets worn every day': it gets worn inside the bag and worn on the hands.
The material needs to be wear-resistant, not brittle at low temperatures, and flame-retardant — conclusion first: SEBS-based TPE is mainstream for charging case coating; if low-temperature requirements are high, TPU or composites are preferred.
The biggest pitfall of power bank cases: they become brittle in low temperatures because of crystallization. When the crystallinity is high, they become brittle at low temperatures — crystallization acts as a switch in the cold.
The power bank casing is a functional component: scratching or cracking are issues. Choosing the right material makes the power bank durable—it's a functional component, don't skimp on material costs.
Why TPE can withstand wear: wear resistance can be enhanced, flame retardancy can be achieved
Reasons for using TPE for the power bank casing: wear-resistant is feasible, flame-retardant is feasible, coating is mature, high efficiency — combining these four, it is suitable for the power bank casing.
Durability is key: the bag is used every day. Durability (wear) data should be verified through actual use—if it gets scuffed, that's a problem.
Low temperatures cannot be ignored: it becomes brittle in winter. Low-temperature impact (-20°C) should be included in inspection; materials with high crystallinity should be screened out first—choose the low-temperature window according to the place of use.
Rub it for a day to freeze it: friction in the bag, winter freezing, heating up
Friction conditions: lining wear, pocket wear. Abrasion data must be verified—scratches are all problems.
Low temperature conditions: Outdoors in winter. Low temperature impact data must be checked—if it becomes brittle, it's a problem.
Heat generation condition: heating during charging. Temperature resistance data needs to be verified—softening, the coating becomes loose.
TPE or TPU: judging from the shell whether it’s brittle
| Dimension | TPE | TPU |
|---|
| Wear-resistant | middle | Strong |
| Low temperature | Can be done | Good |
| Flame retardant | Can be done | Can be done |
| Cost | Low | Medium-high |
| Overmolding | Mature | Mature |
| Batch | Stable | Stable |
Table reading: TPU is wear-resistant and performs well in low temperatures but is expensive; TPE is cheap, flame-retardant, and workable — mainstream power banks use TPE.
High-end low-temperature resistant TPU, regular TPE — choose according to positioning.
Two pitfalls: misjudging crystallization and faking wear resistance
Pitfall 1: Misjudging crystallization. In winter, it cracks with just one fall—don't just blame the brittleness of the material; first check the degree of crystallization, then discuss adjusting the formula.
Pitfall 2: Misleading wear resistance. The report claims wear resistance, but in reality it gets scratched easily—wear resistance should be accepted based on actual test results.
Pitfall 3: Failure to test flame retardancy. Power banks are electrical devices — the flame retardant rating must be tested.
Three acceptance questions: wear resistance, low temperature, flame retardant
Three questions: What method for wear resistance, what temperature for low temperature, what grade for flame retardancy. One check: actually test inside the package — three questions and one check, supplier's details are clear.
Low-temperature testing must come first: brittleness at low temperatures is caused by crystallization. Measure the low-temperature window first, then talk about wear resistance—low temperature is the life-and-death line of the casing.
Making sample retention a habit: retain samples for each batch, and retest wear resistance and low-temperature performance by batch. When changing materials between batches, compare first before scaling up — stable batches result in fewer customer complaints.
In winter, a power bank in the car can drop to -20°C, and surviving low-temperature shocks without cracking is the real test. Don't follow a one-size-fits-all laboratory standard; set the low-temperature limit based on the actual temperatures in the north.
The power bank is in close contact with a heat-generating case, and the adhesive coating will soften and become sticky if exposed to heat for a long time. First, check the surface temperature during charging, and then perform a heat resistance test at 70℃ for 1000 hours based on this temperature. Only if there is no softening should it be approved.
Rubber coating and hard shells are not better the thicker they are; if the thickness is unbalanced, it will be unpleasant on both ends. If it's too thick, the hand feel is stuffy; if it's too thin, the cushioning during drops is insufficient. The ratio should be determined according to the drop height.
Scratched from rubbing against keys in the bag, the flat surface wear cannot be measured. In addition to wear ≤150mg, add one more key scratch to check the appearance, so that the new part does not have marks.
The drop height should be determined based on actual use: two meters on construction sites, half a meter on desktops. Do not use a uniform 0.8-meter figure for all scenarios; acceptance should be based on the user's actual drop height.
Key Points Checklist for Acceptance of Power Bank Shell Coating
| Project | Test method | Passing line |
|---|
| Low temperature shock | -20℃ | No cracking |
| Wear-resistant | Wear test | ≤150 mg |
| Flame retardant | By level | Meet the standard |
| Long-term heat resistance | 70℃ 1000h | No softening |
| Batch | Three rounds of random inspections | Data consistency |
Common Problems and Countermeasures Table for Power Bank Case Coating
| Phenomenon | Reason | Countermeasure |
|---|
| Low-temperature cracking | Crystals are elevated | Adjust Crystallization Window |
| frosted | Insufficient wear resistance | Change to a wear-resistant formula |
| soften | Insufficient heat resistance | Switch to heat-resistant material |
| Delamination | Improper thickness ratio | Swapping glue thickness |
| Scratch | Foreign object friction | Surface hardening |
Power banks become brittle at low temperatures because crystallization is causing it; in winter, put them in your pocket to freeze first. SEBS-based materials have good low-temperature resistance; truly durable in winter is when they bend without breaking. Hardening and whitening are warning signs.
The outer shell is coated with a non-slip material, depending on its hardness and texture, and it does not slip even when soaked with hand sweat. Shore A 70 or so, matte and dry, not sticky to fingerprints; if it's too sticky or slippery, it becomes a user experience killer.
Include the peel strength of the PC/ABS frame in the acceptance criteria; it should not crack when dropped on its four corners three times. If it feels sticky, switch to a low-exudation oil. If delamination occurs, increase the mold temperature and try again. Don’t change the material immediately.
Cologne Customer Case: Cost exceeded, quotes not competitive, matched base material to meet budget
An electronic consumer factory in Xiamen had the cost of power bank casing materials exceeding the standard, and the quotation was not competitive. Cologne cooperated to rematch the coating substrate and processing temperature, meeting performance standards and bringing costs back within the budget line. Once the substrate matching is correct, costs naturally decrease—when costs exceed the standard, first check if the system selection was too broad.
Summary
When selecting the casing for a power bank, test for low temperature first, then check for wear resistance; settle the account of crystallization, and then return with the formula.
There are always people asking: Can secondary brand materials actually be used?
Our answer has never changed—there are many places where it can be used, and not a single place where it can't be used can be touched. It is different from recycled material: one has the indicators off, the other has broken molecular chains.
