Thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) can provide abrasion-, weather-, fuel-, tear-, and water-resistant coatings for high performance coated fabrics. The thermoplastic nature of the resin coupled with wide chemistry formulating latitude enable unique structures to be made that can be fabricated economically.
