What Is TPU Fabric?
TPU fabric is a composite technical textile produced by coating or laminating thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) onto base fabrics such as polyester or nylon. Compared with traditional PVC, TPU offers:
- Higher strength and elasticity
- Better cold resistance and flexibility
- Superior abrasion and puncture resistance
- Excellent waterproof and airtight performance
- Environmental friendliness (non-toxic, recyclable)
For outdoor and industrial applications requiring long-lasting high performance, TPU has become the preferred material for high-end brands and professional equipment manufacturers.
