Technical Capabilities of TPU Fabrics
Our portfolio of TPU fabrics utilizes advanced polymer chemistry to create flexible, highly durable barriers engineered to meet exact performance requirements.
Seamless RF Welding Technology
Traditional needle and thread stitching creates micro-punctures that inherently compromise a material’s barrier. Radio Frequency (RF) welding utilizes electromagnetic energy to fuse layers of thermoplastic polyurethane together. This process results in permanent, leak-proof sealing without the need for physical perforation.
Precision Thermoplastic Polyurethane Coatings
We apply specialized TPU coatings to woven and knit substrates to create a low-shear, soft, and air-holding surface. Our 70-denier and 200-denier nylon TPU fabrics maintain their structural integrity and flexibility even when subjected to dynamic movement or harsh environmental stress.
Solution-Dyed High-Tenacity Integration
For applications demanding exceptional aesthetic longevity alongside waterproof capabilities, we offer innovations like our TEK AIR SD/HT. This TPU fabric combines high-tenacity, solution-dyed nylon with a durable thermoplastic polyurethane coating to lock in color. It delivers superior UV and fade resistance alongside an impenetrable waterproof barrier.
Operational Advantages of Sealable Textiles
Integrating high-performance RF weldable fabrics into your product design delivers critical functional advantages that improve safety and compliance.
Extreme Pressure Resistance
Products like industrial bladders and flotation devices require absolute containment. Our TPU fabrics are engineered to hold air and fluids reliably. This precision engineering provides extreme pressure resistance under heavy loads to prevent catastrophic material failure.
Uncompromising Hygiene and Cleanability
Materials such as our Prima Stretch 1756 are explicitly designed to withstand harsh sanitation protocols. Featuring bleach-resistant and fluid-proof surfaces, these sealable fabrics prevent pathogen ingress and ensure strict infection control for long-term use.
Dynamic Stretch and Low-Shear Performance
We engineer our TPU fabrics to deliver robust protection without adding unnecessary rigidity. Options like our four-way stretch knits provide a smooth, low-shear surface that moves dynamically with the end-user. This significantly reduces fatigue and discomfort during extended wear.
Applications of TPU Fabrics
RF Weldable TPU and Sealable Fabrics are deployed across multiple sectors where airtight reliability and fluid resistance are mandatory.
Healthcare
RF-weldable materials are essential for critical care and patient support surfaces. Our cleanable, fluid-proof TPU fabrics are utilized in hospital mattresses, patient repositioning devices, and wheelchair cushions. They provide ergonomic support while maintaining a strictly hygienic, non-porous surface.
Marine
The maritime environment demands absolute water resistance. Product developers rely on our weldable TPU fabrics to construct inflatable equipment, dry storage solutions, and durable flotation devices. These materials resist degradation from continuous saltwater and sun exposure.
Tactical
In high-stakes operations, material failure is not an option. We supply rugged, sealable textiles to manufacture protective cases, durable tactical packs, and fluid-proof gear. These TPU fabrics maintain their structural integrity under extreme operational stress.
Industrial
Operations leaders deploy our high-tensile TPU fabrics for heavy-duty applications requiring airtight reliability. They are frequently integrated into air and water bladders for industrial cushioning, shock absorption, and heavy-duty protective covers.
