What Is TPU Elastic Tape?

What is TPU elastic tape?

TPU elastic tape is made from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). The material is chosen for its high elasticity, durability and good insulating properties. TPU is widely used in wearables, toys, sports equipment and medical devices, as well as in vehicle parts.

Properties of TPU elastic tape

1. High elasticity: more flexible than other types of elastic and withstands greater deformation.
2. Durability: resistant to heat, cold, UV light and chemicals.
3. Good insulation: provides electrical and thermal insulation.
4. Waterproof: suitable for products designed for use under water.
5. High strength: offers a long service life.
6. Environmentally friendly: recyclable and produced with few chemicals.

How is TPU elastic tape used in textiles?

For many years we have supplied TPU elastic tape from our factories in Güngören and Kırklareli. Our tapes are mainly used for:

• Shoulder seams of jersey and knitwear in garment workshops
• Edges of fitted sheets in home textiles (clear elastic)
• Bra straps and bra back straps in lingerie
• TPU cord for stringing beads in jewellery

Because TPU tape is available in clear form, it leaves no visible marks. It is used where it touches the skin, so it does not chafe or cause allergic reactions and contains no components harmful to health.
