Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) Fabrics

THS supplies thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) fabrics, offering exceptional durability, flexibility and chemical resistance. TPU is weldable, making it ideal for applications where joining or sealing is required. 

TPU is used across a wide range of industries including automotive and industrial applications. Our expertise ensures consistent quality, competitive pricing and large-volume supply, making THS a trusted TPU supplier for complex projects worldwide.

What is TPU Material?

Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) material is a highly versatile polymer that combines the flexibility of rubber with the processability of plastics. 

TPU offers excellent abrasion and chemical resistance, high elasticity and long-term durability. Its combination of strength and flexibility makes it suitable for high-performance applications.

What is the Difference Between TPU and PU?

While PU (polyurethane) is typically a thermoset material that cannot be reshaped after curing, TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) can be heat welded and reshaped, giving it flexibility for fabric applications. 

This makes TPU ideal for coated fabrics used in demanding industrial environments, where durability and versatility are key.

Properties of TPU

THS TPU fabrics are engineered to meet exacting performance standards. Key properties include:

• Durability – Highly resistant to abrasion, tear, impact and fatigue.
• Chemical resistance – Excellent against oils, grease and a wide range of chemicals.
• Processing versatility – Weldable, sewable and low fray when cut, making handling and fabrication straightforward.

Applications of TPU

TPU’s versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of fabric-based applications:

• Compensators and expansion joints
• Flexible connection fabricators
• Protective covers and tarpaulins
• Inflatable structures
• Belts (new area)
• Hosing

Whether your project requires extreme flexibility, durability or chemical resistance, THS can help you select the right TPU solution.
