What are the characteristics of TPU watchband compared to leather watchband?

TPU is a kind of thermoplastic polyurethane resin elastomer between rubber and plastic. It is a new type of eco-friendly material. It is different from other rubber and plastic materials. It has good elasticity, antibacterial and abrasion resistance. Compared with leather straps, TPU straps has its own advantage. Here we show two.

 

Firstly, the TPU strap adopts advanced pressure injection molding process, which is formed many times during the injection process. Each section of the watchband has a variety of hardness. Therefore, the structure of TPU strap is firm like a metal watchband, and the wrist is softer than a leather watchband.

 

Secondly, the TPU strap can be treated with a matte surface, which is soft and comfortable to wear. Of course, some special embossing pattern is also accepted.

 

As to the obvious advantage, TPU strap is widely used for watchbands. Besides TPU straps, we can see leather straps and ordinary plastic watchband in the market. Then let's see the comparison among them.

1. The advantages of TPU watchband compared with ordinary plastic watchband:

The TPU watchband is not made of ordinary plastic materials, but is made of silicone-based polymer materials. It has no shortcomings such as brittleness, aging, and discoloration of ordinary plastic straps. At the same time, TPU watchband will not easy to break or fading due to sweat.

 

2. The advantages of TPU watchbands compared to leather watchbands:

The biggest disadvantage of leather watchbands is that under the combined action of human sweat and body temperature, bacteria are prone to breed, deteriorate and damage the bands finally. But TPU strap will not be corroded by human sweat because of its stable chemical properties.

With the developing of technology, we can got more and more advanced materials to replace some original materials. As a kind of recycled material, TPU is being used in more and more fields now.

100% TPU webbing vs TPU coated webbing

 The difference between 100% TPU webbing and TPU coated webbing:

 

1. 100% tpu webbing only needs to go through a simple extrusion process, while the process of tpu coated webbing is complex and diverse.

2.TPU coated nylon webbing has one more inner webbing than 100% tpu webbing.

3. In terms of feel, the tpu webbing feels lighter and softer. It is suitable for the backpack belt with low hardness requirements.

4. In terms of color, the color of pure tpu webbing can be customized into macaron color.

5. In terms of product appearance, the appearance of the tpu webbing is relatively simple, while the tpu coated webbing can add various patterns on the surface, and it can also be made into a transparent effect.

6.In terms of performance characteristics, The common feature of pure tpu webbing belt and tpu coated webbing is waterproof.  tpu coated webbing can be made by selecting flame retardant materials to have flame retardant effect.In addition, it’s tensile strength is better than ordinary 100% tpu webbing strap.

 

All in all, they have their own characteristics. Customers can choose the right products according to their own product requirements. No matter whether they choose 100% tpu webbing belt and tpu coated webbing strap, they are both good choices, because they are environmentally friendly and durable products, more cost-effective than the nylon webbing.

How to connect coated webbing?

 Webbing is widely used in many products such as bags and clothes. Of course, we can usually see several materials of webbing, including leather webbing, nylon webbing, polyester webbing and PU webbing. As a kind of special webbing, now TPU coated webbing is popular for outdoor products, and some fashion bags choose TPU coated webbing to replace leather or PU webbing. One important reason is that TPU coated webbing is waterproof and stink-proof. Besides, TPU coated webbing can also has shiny and flat appearance like a mirror.

 

Different from nylon webbing, TPU coated webbing is harder and stronger. TPU coated webbing is the polyester webbing outer coated with TPU. To connect coated webbing, we have several methods.

 

1. Sewing and stitching

 

TPU coated webbing can also be stitched. But we should use needles for leather sewing. Usually TPU coated webbing is harder than leather, so if we choose to connect TPU coated webbing by sewing and stitching, the thickness of coated webbing should below 1 mm.

 

2. Welding

 

Refers to the feature of TPU, TPU webbing can be welded through Radio Frequency. To reach stable effect after welding, we’d better choose thinner coated webbing.

 

3. Punching and riveting

 

This is the most stable connection for TPU coated webbing. Usually the thicker webbing will be punched and riveted. Because stitching and welding is not suitable for thicker webbing.

What is TPU coated rope?

TPU coated rope is a kind of waterproof rope cord. This is the polyester rope cord outer coated with TPU. Within TPU, the polyester rope becomes water resistant and strong.

 

TPU is a kind of plastic material. But contrast with many other plastic materials, TPU is eco-friendly. TPU can be degraded into water when put in moist environment. During the procedure of degradation, TPU won’t produce substances that are harmful to environment, human, plants and animals. Moreover, TPU is stink-proof and will not release hazardous substance when touch human’s skin. Therefore, TPU coated rope is eco-friendly.

 

The inner rope of TPU coated rope is usually made from polyester. Compared with nylon or other textile materials, polyester has better consistency with TPU. Because TPU coated rope cord produced with extrusion technology, the inner polyester rope need to pass through the high-temperature machine. So polyester rope are supposed to be strong enough to endure high temperature. Its shrink range, high-temperature resistance and colour fastness are all being concerned.

 

TPU coated rope cord is usually used for outdoor products such as dog leash and surf leash. What’s more, it can also used in fashion bags. Here we have some TPU coated rope cord. If you are interested in, just contact us.
