There are 2 major types of laminating fabrics at TDF, TPU fabric(thermoplastic polyurethane fabric) and PVC fabric(polyvinylchloride fabric); both of them have exceptional performance in the properties of waterproofness, high laminating fastness, tensile strength, anti-tearing, and anti-peeling.
Depending on client requirements, as a professional thermoplastic polyurethane fabric supplier, we are able to provide laminating fabrics with exceptional performance in extreme environmental conditions such as resistance to low temperatures, hydrolysis, bacteria, bending, and wear. If you have any questions about TPU fabric from TDF industrial fabrics manufacturers, please feel free to contact us at any time!

TDF is also used to produce Trapaulin, a product with high laminating fastness. Nylon or polyester fabrics (250D-1000D) are laminated with TPU or PVC to give the fabrics high tear-resistance and tensile strength.
