As the future trend in paint protection film and the current mainstream material, what advantages does TPU paint protection film offer? Many car owners may perceive TPU as more expensive than PVC and TPH films, and even believe it has worse recovery ability than these two. However, this is often due to misconceptions. Let HIGHCOOL show you the advantages of TPU paint protection film from multiple angles.
1. Advantages of the material itself
TPU is a common material, which is the abbreviation of Thermoplastic Urethane, and is a green and environmentally friendly material recognized worldwide. As an elastomer, TPU is a material between rubber and plastic, offering extremely strong tension. It is oil-resistant, waterproof, mildew-proof, and has excellent load-bearing capacity, impact resistance, and shock absorption performance. These qualities make TPU paint protection film an ideal choice for protecting your car. In addition to its toughness and anti-aging properties, TPU is also a recyclable environmentally friendly material. Made by injection molding, TPU can soften at a certain temperature and remain stable at room temperature.
TPU material can soften at a certain temperature and can remain constant at room temperature. TPU is often used to make transparent materials. Its good weather resistance and excellent high-energy radiation performance, as well as its well-known wear resistance, tear resistance, bending strength, high tensile strength, high elongation and low long-term compression permanent deformation make it the best choice for making paint protection film.
2. Advantages of the product
From the first point, it can be seen that the high tensile strength, wear resistance, resistance to various corrosion, impact resistance and other characteristics of TPU materials make the paint protection film of TPU material have a strong basic advantage. Not only is the coverage better when posted, but the use process (daily driving and parking) can also have a good experience. One of the points is very important but most people do not understand it. It is also one of the main reasons why car owners think that TPU is useless except for its high price. This point is “constant at room temperature and softening at a certain temperature”.
Due to their characteristics, PVC and TPH materials are basically in a state of molecular activity every minute and every second, whether at low or high temperatures. Damage can be repaired very quickly, but this also means that after one to two years, when the molecules lose their activity, the car films of these two materials will become pure decorations, no longer have the function of protection and repair, and need to be replaced with new car films. However, TPU is constant at room temperature and softens at a certain temperature. After each damage, it can be actively sprayed with a hot air gun or hot water to actively awaken the molecular activation and repair the scars.
After recovery, it is naturally placed, and the molecular state of the car cover tends to be stable, which greatly extends the service life of the paint protection film. Many car owners do not know this, and rarely take the initiative to repair TPU car films. When there are many or serious scratches, they directly choose to replace them. Naturally, they think that TPU car films are not as good as PVC and TPH. The truth that you get what you pay for can be seen in the characteristics of the paint protection films of these three materials.
3. Excellent application fields
The excellence of TPU material makes it not only a leader in the field of paint protection films, but also has excellent “achievements” in other fields. As a recognized green and environmentally friendly new polymer material with excellent performance, new technologies, new products and new uses related to TPU are being continuously developed and put on the market. TPU can be seen in almost all walks of life, such as pipes, films and sheets, cables, automobiles, construction, medicine and health, national defense, sports and leisure, as well as functional outdoor equipment such as shoes and bags, and its development prospects are bright.
In short, since TPU paint protection film is the mainstream material for the future, it will continue to offer better performance and value as technology evolves. Before newer and more groundbreaking materials become available, consider choosing HIGHCOOL, which offers both TPU invisible car films and TPU wrap films.
