TPU film has many extensive applications in the field of clothing and accessories:
Functional Clothing
- Waterproof and Breathable Type: In outdoor clothing such as down jackets, ski suits, and raincoats, TPU film is compounded on the fabric surface through a special process. It can effectively prevent rainwater from penetrating while allowing moisture inside the clothing to escape, keeping the wearer's body dry and comfortable. Its low-temperature resistance performance can also meet the requirements for use in extremely cold environments.
- Protective Clothing Category: It is used to make windproof jackets, mountaineering suits, etc., enhancing the wind resistance and wear resistance of the clothing. It can resist the invasion of external environments on the body, and some also have anti-ultraviolet functions to protect the skin from ultraviolet damage.
- Military and Police Uniform Category: It can be applied to military clothing, training uniforms, cold-proof clothing, windbreakers and trousers, as well as tactical gloves, combat boots, tactical vests, and other equipment, enhancing their protective performance and durability.
Sportswear
- Conventional Sportswear: In sportswear such as basketball suits and running pants, TPU film can be used to make breathable and comfortable clothing, providing athletes with a good sports experience.
- Sports Protective Gear Category: It is used to make the outer or inner layer of sports protective gear, such as knee pads and elbow pads. This increases the elasticity and durability of the protective gear and better protects the joints and muscles of athletes.
- Swimwear Category: Its water resistance and flexibility make it suitable for swimwear production. It can maintain stable performance in water for a long time, conform to body curves, and provide a comfortable wearing experience.
Underwear and Accessories
- Seamless Underwear Category: It can be used to make women's seamless underwear, men's underpants, and other close-fitting clothes. Its good elasticity and washability can better adapt to the body's curves, providing better wearing comfort.
- Socks: Socks made through seamless fitting technology avoid the stitches and needle holes brought by traditional sewing techniques, making the socks more beautiful and smooth and enhancing the comfort of wearing.
- Fashionable Backpack Category: It can be used to make decorations, patterns, and prints for backpacks, adding a sense of fashion and personalized elements to the backpacks. At the same time, it can also improve the durability and water resistance of the backpacks.
Special Clothing and Supplies
- Spacesuit Category: As a material for high-precision and advanced clothing such as spacesuits, it endows the fabric and spacesuits with excellent UV resistance, high/low temperature resistance, and radiation resistance without affecting the original properties of the material, such as barrier properties, tear resistance, and wear resistance.
- Fire Protection Category: TPU films that have been optimized in terms of elasticity, flame retardancy, and chemical resistance can be used in thermal protective clothing such as fire suits, fire boots, fire covers, and flame-retardant gloves. They can also be applied in industrial protective clothing such as welding protective suits, chemical protective suits, and flame-retardant coverings.
- Life-saving Equipment Category: Due to its lightness, expandability, and airtightness, TPU film can be used to make life jackets and other life-saving equipment. Its transparent airbag structure can also be used in applications such as kite airbags.
Garment Processing and Decoration
- Bonding and Lamination Type: TPU hot melt adhesive film can be used for seamless lamination of clothing fabrics, such as laminating different fabrics, avoiding the drawbacks of traditional sewing processes, making the clothing more beautiful and smooth. It can also be used for bonding clothing trademarks to fabrics, ensuring that the trademarks adhere firmly and are not easy to fall off. Even if the fabric deforms, the trademarks can remain flat and beautiful.
- Pattern and Design Category: By taking advantage of the excellent plasticity and processability of TPU film, unique patterns, text, or three-dimensional effects can be achieved on the surface of clothing through methods such as hot pressing and printing, adding a sense of fashion and personalized elements to the clothing.
