Description

What Is TPU Film?

Thermoplastic Polyurethane Film (TPU Film) is a flexible polymer film that is produced using thermoplastic polyurethane. It has the characteristics of combining the elasticity of rubber with the processability of plastic, which can be used to make technical products with high flexibility, sealing, abrasion resistance, and durability.

TPU Film has a higher elongation than conventional plastic films, exhibits a good recovery, good surface properties, and can be laminated to fabrics, non-woven fabrics, paper and other materials. It is also utilized in certain applications as an alternative to PVC film owing to its weldability, transparency and adaptable performance.

Types of TPU Films Available

Clear TPU Film

Clear TPU Film is used when visibility and optical clarity are needed along with good surface finish. It can be used in protective covers, display applications, flexible windows, lamination, and technical packaging.

Foggy TPU Film

Foggy TPU Film is used where there is a need for a translucent look and has the same performance characteristics but with less transparency.

Aromatic TPU Film

Aromatic TPU Film is generally used in industrial applications where performance along with flexibility is needed.

Aliphatic TPU Film

Aliphatic TPU Film is needed where there is a need for optical clarity and UV resistance along with color stability.

Medical-Grade Application TPU Film

TPU Film is generally used in medical devices such as surgical gowns, medical mattresses, gel pads, infusion bags, blood pressure cuffs, and medical tubing among others.

Custom TPU Film

Custom TPU Film can be customized in various hardness grades, thickness, colors, width and rolls to meet the industry requirements in performance.

TPU Film Sizes & Thickness Options

TPU Films are produced in thin and flexible gauges for purposes such as lamination, coating, sealing and protection. Larger sizes rolls are ideal for use in industrial processing lines and small sizes for special purpose conversion.

Some of the available gauges include:

• Thin TPU Film Rolls
• Clear TPU Film Sheets
• Foggy TPU Film Rolls
• Custom Width TPU Film
• Lamination Grade TPU Film
• Medical TPU Film

• Effective for valuable B2B applications

TPU Film is not the cheapest film in the polymer range, and this is precisely why it is used. It is chosen when the film must do more than simply cover, wrap, or separate. It must bend, flex, seal, protect, and be able to withstand the stress of an engineering application.

TPU Film vs PE Film

TPU film is preferable in cases where the application calls for resilience, elasticity, abrasion resistance, and technical superiority. On the other hand, PE Film is preferable in cost-effective packaging and covering.

TPU Film vs Greenhouse Film

The applications of TPU Film and Greenhouse Film are varied. TPU Film is a technical material, whereas Greenhouse Film is meant to protect the crops from light exposure and cover the crops.
