TPU
TPU stands for thermoplastic Polyurethane. The material can be repeatedly shaped using heat and retains its elastic properties after cooling. It is often used in the outdoor industry as a coating for fabrics. In principle, it is similar to a PU coating. However, in common parlance, it refers to thick, permanently elastic coatings.
Depending on the layer thickness, the following properties result:
- waterproof
- airtight
- weldable (with high-frequency welding)
- kink-resistant
- abrasion-resistant
- puncture-resistant
