TPU fabric is a textile that has been laminated or coated with a thermoplastic polyurethane film to make it waterproof and hard wearing, and with some grades breathable. The TPU layer bonds to base fabrics such as polyester or nylon to create a flexible, durable material used in outdoor gear, protective clothing and inflatables. Permali supplies TPU film for textile lamination, and the same Tuftane material is also used in medical and industrial settings.
