TPU Waterproof Film

TPU waterproof and breathable membrane is a functional film based on thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU).

Our Story

TPU Waterproof Film

It achieves both waterproof and breathable functions through the hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties of its molecular chains. Its hydrophobic hard segments block liquid water penetration, while its hydrophilic soft segments allow water vapor to pass through. The surface has no microporous structure.TPU waterproof and breathable membranes are primarily made of high-molecular-weight elastomer TPU, which boasts excellent elasticity and high strength. Despite its extremely thin thickness (0.012~0.025mm), it exhibits unparalleled physical properties in terms of waterproofing (withstanding water pressure exceeding 10,000 mmH2O).

Furthermore, advanced technology incorporates hydrophilic groups into the material, giving the membrane not only high waterproofing but also excellent breathability (human sweat can freely penetrate the membrane). This functional breakthrough, combined with advanced textile bonding techniques, significantly enhances the added value of textiles and is now widely used in snowwear, windbreakers, winter jackets, gloves, hats, and shoes. In addition, its excellent weather resistance, environmental friendliness, non-toxicity, recyclability, and biodegradability make TPU waterproof and breathable membranes a mainstream material for the 21st century.

01

Outdoor gear and sportswear

TPU waterproof and breathable membranes are widely used in various outdoor equipment and sportswear, such as mountaineering jackets, ski suits, cycling gear, and high-performance athletic shoes. In these situations, wearers need to keep their bodies dry and avoid the discomfort caused by sweat buildup. The moisture-permeable properties of TPU membranes play a crucial role here, allowing the body to expel sweat through the micropores in the membrane while preventing external moisture from seeping in.

02

Waterproof tents, raincoats

TPU membranes offer excellent weather resistance and breathability, providing a good protective layer for outdoor activities. When designing these products, manufacturers typically combine different TPU membrane performance indicators to select the material best suited for specific applications. Through continuous optimization of the microporous structure and composite process, it is possible to improve breathability while ensuring waterproofing, thereby meeting higher demands for comfort and practicality.

Medical protective clothing

Moisture permeability ≥3000g/m²/24h, must pass medical-grade antibacterial certification (such as ISO 22610), thickness 0.05-0.1mm to balance protection and comfort.
