Understanding Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) Film and Its Production #
Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) film is a versatile material produced through an extrusion process. In this method, raw TPU polymer is melted and forced through a die, forming a thin film. After cooling and solidification, the film is cut to the required size and shape. TPU film is recognized for its excellent resistance to wear, cold, heat, and oil, as well as its ability to repel water and wind. These properties make it suitable for a wide range of applications, including water-proof clothing, medical gloves and garments, life jackets, and car seats.
Matila offers high-performance dual-purpose TPU blown film machines capable of producing both single-layer and double-layer films. A single-layer configuration is ideal for manufacturing low air permeability TPU film, while a double-layer setup can produce high air permeability TPU film (often combined with PE film) or films with high or low temperature resistance.
