Technical films - TPU

Thermoplastic polyurethane films (TPU) cover a wide range of requirements. From outstanding mechanical properties to excellent resistance to environmental influences.

By producing polyurethane films on both an aromatic and aliphatic basis, we are able to specifically address the properties that are important for the customer's requirement. Our specialists will be happy to help you narrow down the multitude of requirements and product properties in order to make the optimum product selection for you.

Aromatic

Polyurethane

Our product range includes aromatic polyester urethane films and polyether urethane films.

Aromatic polyester urethane films are ideally suited for applications with high mechanical stress, whereas aromatic polyether urethane films have increased ageing resistance and resistance to environmental influences.

03 Chemically resistant to

Aliphatic

Polyurethane

Our aliphatic films are predominantly ester-based and are used where extreme environmental conditions prevail.

Especially in (light) construction, but also in all other outdoor areas, our aliphatic films easily withstand UV radiation, moisture, weathering, bacteria and much more.

Our product portfolio for aliphatic polyurethane films keeps all your options open. In addition to the typically stiff aliphatic films, we also produce soft variants. Thanks to the possibility of wide-slit extrusion, extremely thick films (25 µm - 1000 µm) can be produced homogeneously and optionally with a matt finish.
