Description
Technical Parameters

Jinlong Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) laminated fabrics are classified into polyether-based and polyester-based grades, engineered to satisfy diverse demanding working conditions for flexible liquid containment and transportation equipment.

Polyether-based TPU fabric possesses remarkable hydrolysis resistance and anti-microbial adhesion capacity. It stays flexible and foldable at -60℃ without brittling, which makes it a premium material for hydration bladders, vehicle-mounted water storage bags, emergency flexible water tanks and other outdoor products for long-term drinking water storage. Polyester-based TPU fabric exhibits prominent oil resistance and thermal aging resistance, well suited for manufacturing fuel bladders and industrial flexible containers used to store various mineral oils.

All Jinlong TPU laminated fabrics are equipped with high tear strength as well as superior abrasion and puncture resistance, greatly extending the service lifespan of finished goods. The material works perfectly with high-frequency heat sealing and laser welding to form firm, leakage-proof seams. Multiple choices of thickness, width and color are available. Jinlong provides professional sample evaluation service and flexible bulk customization to support clients from prototype testing to mass industrial production.

Features of Thermoplastic Polyurethane TPU

 

 

•Two material grades available: Polyether type resists hydrolysis for water storage; polyester type offers great oil resistance for fuel bladders.

•Good low-temperature toughness: Polyether fabric stays flexible at -60°C and avoids brittling in cold conditions.

•High mechanical strength: Excellent abrasion, tear and puncture resistance to prevent leakage.

•Easy thermal processing: Compatible with high-frequency heat sealing and laser welding for durable seams.

•Flexible customization: Various thickness & colors available, sample service and bulk orders supported.

FAQ of Thermoplastic Polyurethane TPU

 

 

 

Q: What is Thermoplastic Polyurethane TPU?

A: Thermoplastic Polyurethane TPU is a thermoplastic elastomer that combines rubber-like elasticity with plastic strength. It offers excellent abrasion resistance, tear strength, and resilience, widely used in footwear, automotive components, electronics, medical, industrial products, and soft containers (such as water bags, fuel bladders, and storage tanks).

Q: What is the difference between polyether TPU and polyester TPU?

A: Polyether TPU offers superior hydrolysis resistance, low-temperature flexibility, and anti-microbial properties, ideal for drinking water bags, water tanks, underwater gear, medical devices, and outdoor use; Polyester TPU provides better tensile strength, oil resistance, chemical resistance, and heat aging resistance, suitable for fuel bladders, oil storage tanks, footwear, cable jackets, and automotive components.

Q: What hardness range does Thermoplastic Polyurethane TPU offer?

A: Jinlong offers a wide range of hardness grades from soft to rigid, flexibly matching diverse application requirements. TPU softness depends on Shore hardness; lower values mean softer material.

Q: Is Thermoplastic Polyurethane TPU difficult to process?

A: TPU can be processed at moderate temperatures using standard injection molding and extrusion equipment. It is a mature, easy-to-handle material. Proper pre-drying (approx. 82°C for 3–4 hours) is recommended for optimal results.

Q: How does Thermoplastic Polyurethane TPU perform in terms of abrasion resistance?

A: TPU is renowned for its superior abrasion resistance, outperforming most rigid plastics in harsh environments. It is commonly used in high-wear applications such as shoe soles, wheels, and drive components.

Q: Is Thermoplastic Polyurethane TPU suitable for outdoor use?

A: Yes. TPU offers good oil, solvent, and UV resistance, making it suitable for long-term outdoor use. Polyether-type TPU performs particularly well in low-temperature and humid conditions, especially for soft water storage containers that require prolonged liquid contact.

 Q: Does Jinlong Thermoplastic Polyurethane TPU comply with environmental and safety certifications?

A: Jinlong TPU products comply with RoHS, Reach, and food contact material safety standards. Selected grades can meet medical-grade certification requirements, suitable for consumer goods, food contact, and medical applications.

Q: Do you support small-batch sample orders and customization?

A: Yes. Jinlong provides full-service support from sample prototyping to mass production, with custom grades and performance available to help bring your products to market efficiently.
