Focus on lamination process, substrate compatibility, breathability and softness, appearance control, wash durability, and customized supply. (Samples and third-party testing available)
What are the key advantages and typical applications of this TPU film?
Features include strong adhesion, excellent elasticity recovery, soft hand feel, and seamless appearance. Commonly used in sportswear, underwear, bonded logos/stripes, shoe structural layers, and household repairs. It helps reduce seam feeling and improves comfort and aesthetics.
How should I set the bonding temperature, pressure, and time?
These parameters vary greatly by fabric and equipment. It’s recommended to establish a process window with small-scale trials: start with low pressure and short pre-pressing, then gradually increase temperature and dwell time, and finally cool under light pressure to shape. Avoid excessive temperature or pressure that may cause glue seepage, hardening, or collapse of fabric pores.
What substrates is it compatible with? Is pretreatment required?
Generally compatible with most knitted/woven fabrics, elastic fabrics, foam, leather/synthetic leather, and some films. It’s recommended to run small adhesion and washing-cycle tests with your actual material.
What factors affect breathability and hand feel?
Mainly influenced by film weight/thickness, perforation rate, embossing coverage, and bonding conditions. Lower weight and smaller surface pressure usually preserve better breathability and softness; higher weight or larger pressed areas enhance adhesion and structural integrity but may feel stiffer.
How does it perform in washing, dry cleaning, and ironing? Any care recommendations?
Durability and appearance retention depend on bonding conditions and fabric type. For dry cleaning or solvent exposure, prior evaluation is advised.
Does this film contain solvents? Any odor or irritation concerns for close-to-skin use?
This is a hot-melt system, with no solvents used as the main carrier in production or bonding. After bonding, a light processing odor may appear but dissipates after cooling and ventilation. For skin-contact use, evaluate comfort based on actual fabric and lamination conditions. Environmental and material compliance documents (e.g., RoHS/REACH, SDS) can be provided upon request.
How can I prevent issues like glue seepage, yellowing, or edge marks?
These issues are often caused by excessive temperature, prolonged dwell time, or excessive pressure. Improvements can be made by reducing surface pressure, using point embossing, adding a cooling/setting step, and selecting suitable release or separator materials. For light or thin fabrics, conduct an appearance stability test first.
What customization options are available?
Customizable parameters include weight, thickness, width, roll direction/length, embossing texture, and supply format (rolls, slitted tapes, or die-cut sheets). We can also assist in evaluating composite solutions with your specified fabrics or trims.
Are documentation and compliance statements available?
General documents such as RoHS/REACH declarations, material specifications, batch traceability, and SDS can be provided. Third-party testing or brand-specific audit documents can be arranged during project discussions.
What are the sampling, MOQ, and lead time conditions?
Small rolls or cut sheets are available for sampling. MOQ is priced based on width, weight, and customization level, typically ranging from 2,000 to 10,000 m². Standard lead time is around 3–5 weeks. For rush orders or special specifications, please share your schedule and target parameters for evaluation.
