Platilon® and Dureflex® thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) films are known for their exceptional mechanical, chemical, and thermal properties, making them versatile for textile, sportswear, sports equipment, footwear, medical, construction, and industrial applications. The films offer excellent mechanical strength, flexibility, and durability, with heat, puncture, and abrasion resistance, making them ideal for textile bonding, fabric coating, and protective layers like bullet-proof vests. These films also serve in construction, automotive, and sports sectors, facilitating efficient lamination and innovative solutions. Our films not only protect, bond, or refine textiles and other materials; they can also be stretched when heated or melted, and then molded all over again. Moreover, Covestro Specialty Films is constantly researching and developing partly bio-based materials to reduce our carbon footprint. Our solutions have shown that those materials exhibit excellent product properties in various aspects, compared to fully fossil fuel-based films. Yet partly bio-based films are only one of the many ways to foster a more circular economy. We are also working on innovations that close material loops by recycling waste material streams.
