What is TPU Patches?

TPU (Thermoplastic Urethane) is widely recognised and valued for its versatility in various industries and applications. TPU patches, in particular, stand out due to their exceptional qualities, making them a preferred choice for many. These patches offer impressive waterproof properties and high elasticity and comply with Europe and America's stringent environmental protection standards. Their distinct concave and convex texture adds a captivating 3D effect to the surface, while the metallic and reflective cover enhances their visual appeal with clean lines and a sleek curvature. Unlike PVC patches, TPU patches weigh significantly less and possess a softer touch. This unique combination of characteristics makes them particularly suitable for sportswear, providing athletes with added comfort when gently adhered to their garments. With their eco-friendly nature and outstanding performance, TPU patches are gaining popularity in the industry, catering to both style and functionality demands.

The Advantages of TPU Patches

TPU patches offer numerous advantages that make them highly desirable. These include their eco-friendly nature, non-toxic composition, oil resistance, soft texture against the body, crack resistance, durability, and resistance to deformation.

When compared to PVC patches, TPU patches are remarkably user-friendly. Here are the instructions for applying them using different methods:

Iron-on Method: Place the TPU patch on the desired location of the clothing and cover it with a thin, damp towel to prevent scalding. Set your iron to a heat range of 150℃ or choose the cotton and linen setting. Press the patch back and forth with the iron for approximately 30 seconds until it adheres firmly. Next, flip the garment and press the back of the TPU patch for an additional 10 seconds to ensure a secure bond.

Heat Press Machine: Position the TPU patch on the clothing and cover it with a thin fabric to protect it from heat. Adjust the machine's temperature to 150℃ and set the pressure to 5kg. Press the patch for 20 seconds, applying firm pressure. Allow the patch to cool completely before handling, as premature contact may compromise its adherence.
