TPU adhesive film is a flexible thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) bonding film for factories that need clean lamination without liquid glue. It is commonly selected for soft textile structures, footwear materials, leather goods, labels, electronic covers and other products that need flexibility or repeated bending.

Product Fit

  • Choose TPU when the finished product needs flexibility, soft hand feel or bending resistance.
  • Use sample testing to select low-temperature, stronger bonding, softer hand-feel or higher-temperature TPU directions.
  • Compare PES, PA, EVA or PO when heat resistance, washing, cost, or plastic bonding requirements point to another material family.

Labels, logos and die-cut partsClothing labels, logo patches, decorative trims, local reinforcement piecesCutting accuracy, liner release, edge bonding and final appearance.
Flexible straps and composite partsStrap structures, pad laminates, flexible support layers and custom die-cut pieces; for brace-strap laminates, see the medical support braces and straps film matching direction.Flex durability, bonding uniformity, aging test and any end-use compliance requirement.

Suitable Bonding Materials

Common trial materials include polyester, nylon, cotton blends, Lycra/spandex structures, nonwoven fabric, PU leather, microfiber leather, TPU film, mesh, ABS, PC, PET fiberglass board and selected coated materials. Difficult coatings, oily surfaces, plasticized materials and low-energy surfaces should be tested before bulk order.

Selection Notes Before Sampling

Selection PointWhat To Check Before Sampling
Substrate and surfaceConfirm fabric type, PU or microfiber coating, mesh structure, plastic support layer and surface treatment before grade selection.
Flexibility and hand feelFor garments, footwear and flexible parts, test softness, bending, stretch recovery and glue-line feel after cooling.
Processing windowChoose the grade by bonding temperature, pressure, dwell time, heat tolerance and whether the surface is easy to mark or deform.
Liner and convertingRelease paper, release film or liner-free handling should be confirmed by slitting, die cutting, positioning and lamination process.
Final verificationCheck peel strength, edge lift, washing, flexing, heat aging or other end-use tests before bulk order.

Sample Grade Selection

The table lists the current VELNORA TPU grades, grouped by melting point. Start with the lowest-temperature grade your substrates and end use allow, then confirm with your own bonding test. Values are line-card references, not a final guarantee for every substrate.

Processing and Sample Support

Start from the lowest effective temperature for the selected grade, keep pressure even, and test peel strength after cooling. For samples, send material names, photos, target thickness, width, machine type, temperature limit and final test standard. For starting settings by TPU grade and how to adjust them for your substrate, see how to set temperature, pressure and time for hot melt adhesive film.

Samples, MOQ and Lead Time

  • Samples: Sample sheets of standard grades are available for bonding tests. Tell us your substrates, equipment and target process, and we will suggest which ZF grades to test first.
  • MOQ: From 1 roll for standard grades. For custom thickness, width or liner, the MOQ is confirmed with the quotation.
  • Lead time: Standard grades are typically ready to ship 7-15 days after order confirmation. For custom specifications, the lead time is confirmed with the quotation.
  • Roll format: Supplied on release paper in 54 in (approx. 1370 mm) wide rolls, with 24 in for selected grades such as ZF-4200. Slit rolls, sheets and die-cut pieces are available on request. Rolls are wrapped and cartoned for export.

FAQ

What is TPU hot melt adhesive film used for?

It is used for textile lamination, footwear materials, leather goods, labels, electronic covers and flexible composite structures.

Can TPU film be supplied with release paper?

Yes. Release paper is common, and release film or liner-free supply can also be reviewed by grade and process.

How do I choose the right TPU grade?

Choose by substrate, thickness, liner, bonding temperature, pressure, dwell time, flexibility target and final test requirement.

Can TPU film be customized?

Thickness, width, supply form, liner and sample grade direction can be discussed according to the application.

What information is needed for quotation?

Send substrate, application, target thickness, width, liner requirement, order quantity and bonding conditions.

Why Choose TPU Adhesive Film?

Buyers usually choose TPU adhesive film when the bonded part needs a soft hand feel, repeated bending, elastic recovery or flexible lamination. As a thermoplastic polyurethane adhesive film, it is commonly reviewed for textile layers, footwear components, PU leather, coated fabric and other flexible laminates where the bond line should move with the substrate.

Compared with PES, PA, EVA or PO directions, TPU is normally considered first for flexible structures rather than rigid board, paper packaging or lower-polarity PP/PE parts. If the project needs higher textile heat resistance, leather-focused durability, foam and paper economy, or polyolefin substrate compatibility, another polymer family may be a better starting point.
