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.

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.

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.

Ningbo Kolon New Materials Co., Ltd. mainly deals in modified thermoplastic elastomers, modified nylons (PA6 / PA66 / PA46 / PA11 / PA12 / PA6T / PA9T and nylon alloys), modified PPO / PPS; nylon resins, secondary grade materials, and bulk materials from major chemical giants are available in stock.
