Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is a high-performance material that can revolutionize textile applications, from woven yarns, tarp and nonwoven fabrics to synthetic leather. Versatile TPU is also more sustainable, with pleasant haptics, high durability and a range of textures and stiffnesses.

Our Desmopan® TPU range offers high elasticity, durability, and abrasion resistance, meaning textiles can withstand repeated use without losing their shape. Resistance to oils, chemicals, and UV light also make TPU a naturally good fit for outdoor applications. In addition, wearers appreciate lightweight polyurethane (PU) fabrics with pleasant, dry touch, thanks to the material’s bio-compatible, breathability and moisture-drawing properties. Material health extends to the fact that Desmopan® TPU is fully recyclable, and comes in grades ranging from very soft to very stiff, enabling a more sustainable, mono-material solution than some alternatives. It is also available in grades with certified low volatile organic compound (VOC) content for lower harmful emissions.
