Laminating Fabrics

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 can 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!

Characteristics of TPU:
  • Exceptional performance against wear, tearing, and bending
  • Resistance against hydrolysis and bacteria
  • Effective flame retardant and oil resistance
  • Resistance against low temperatures: below -30℃
  • The micropores within TPU are not easily blocked by cleaning agents, sweat, or salt
  • Free of plasticizers
  • A simple molecular structure means the material can be categorized as eco-friendly and has no issues with air pollution when incinerated
  • Biodegradable naturally decomposes in 3-5 years
  • Categorized by ether or ester-based fabrics

Product Description:

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.
