    Introduction to TPU Raw Materials


    TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is a kind of polymer material that combines the elasticity of rubber and the processing performance of plastics. It is divided into two major types: polyester and polyether. It also has the following characteristics:

    • Environmentally friendly and non-toxic: It can be recycled and meets environmental protection standards such as RoHS and REACH in the European Union.

    • Excellent elasticity: The elongation at break is as high as 500%-800%, and it is resistant to repeated stretching.

    • Abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance: The abrasion resistance is 3-5 times that of natural rubber.

    • Wide temperature range adaptability: The operating temperature range is from -40°C to 120°C.




    Core Advantages of TPU Film: More Than Just a "Film"


    Elasticity and flexibility: Suitable for dynamic environments (such as sports equipment, medical devices).


    Waterproof and breathable: The microporous structure enables water vapor exchange, and it is used in outdoor clothing and footwear materials.


    Strong weather resistance: It is resistant to ultraviolet rays and yellowing, extending the product's lifespan.


    Good adhesion: It has excellent adhesion to substrates such as metals, fabrics, and plastics.



    TPU film application scenarios: permeate every aspect of life




    Market Analysis of TPU Film: Demand Surge and Technological Upgrades


    • Global market: The market size exceeded 15 billion US dollars in 2023, and it is expected to exceed 25 billion US dollars in 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of 6.8% (Data source: Grand View Research).

    • Regional growth: The Asia-Pacific region accounts for more than 50%, and China is the world's largest producer and consumer.

    • Driving factors: New energy vehicles, wearable devices, and environmental protection policies (such as the plastic restriction order) drive the demand growth.



    TPU Film Production Line: Process Determines Quality, Technology Leads the Future


    The TPU film production line of Jinwei Company adopts intelligent and high-precision processes, with the following core advantages:


    Extrusion system:

    • The single-screw extruder realizes uniform plasticization of materials, with a temperature control accuracy of ±1°C.

    • High-quality mold steel, with a thickness deviation ≤ ±2%.


    Casting/calendering process:

    • The air knife + vacuum adsorption technology ensures the flatness of the film.

    • The multi-roll calendering system rapidly cools to maintain the surface tension of the product.


    Post-processing technology:

    • Online thickness measurement + tension closed-loop control, adjusting parameters in real time.

    • Corona treatment enhances surface adhesion to meet lamination requirements.
