What Material is TPU Composite Fabric?

TPU composite fabric is to use TPU film to compound various fabrics to form a composite material, combining the characteristics of the two to obtain a new type of fabric.

TPU, thermoplastic polyurethane, is a linear block copolymer composed of oligomer polyol soft segment and diisocyanate-chain extender hard segment. TPU can be salivated, blown film, calendered or coated into a film, with excellent elasticity, toughness, abrasion resistance, good cold resistance, environmental protection and non-toxicity.

There are two methods for TPU composite fabrics. One is called post-attachment: the TPU film is first made into a TPU film and then glued to the fabric, and the other is online composite: the fabric is glued or not glued, and the TPU is directly salivated. The fabric is made of TPU composite fabric or mesh fabric.

Fabric use:

In-line lamination is to compound the fluid TPU film on the fabric at one time, avoiding the damage to the film, the surface is beautifully formed, and different textures can be made. However, this composite method requires large equipment investment and high technical requirements. There are very few domestic manufacturers that can achieve this composite process, and currently only a few have mature equipment and technology. In fact, it was also improved after being introduced from Taiwan. At present, it is the most professional manufacturer of inflatable life jackets, medical inflatable products, and massage airbag fabrics in China.

TPU composite fabric uses: inflatable life jackets, diving BC jackets, life rafts, inflatable boats, inflatable tents, military inflatable self-inflating mattresses, massage air bags, medical anti-decubitus mattresses and professional waterproof backpacks.
