Technical Properties

Tuftane Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) films in general offer the following properties:

• - Excellent wear and abrasion resistance
• - High tensile strength
• - Excellent resistance to fatigue
• - Excellent resistance to tear propagation
• - High energy absorption
• - Very good low temperature flexibility
• - Good resistance to oils, greases, oxygen, and ozone
• - Recyclable

By combining other special additives with our TPU formulations we can engineer and improve the properties in many ways, such as:

• - Flame retardancy
• - Appearance – matt, gloss, colour matching
• - UV resistance
• - Touch / Feel
• - Anti static
• - Microbial resistance

Tuftane TPU films can be split into two distinct groups, polyether based and polyester based. Tuftane TPU films from a polyether or polyester base offer performance advantages with the following characteristics:
