TPU Elastic Non-Woven Sheet: Formats and Applications
Understanding TPU elastic non-woven sheet products — thickness, dimensions, and converting options
TPU elastic non-woven is supplied in various sheet formats depending on the application. TPU elastic non-woven sheet products range from thin films to thick, fabric-like materials.
Here's what you need to know about sheet specifications and formats.
Sheet vs. Roll Supply
TPU non-woven is typically supplied in rolls, but can be converted to sheets:
| Format | Typical Dimensions | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Master rolls | Width: 1.0-2.2 m; Length: 1,000-5,000 m | High-volume converting operations |
| Slit rolls | Width: 50-1,600 mm; various lengths | Specific equipment widths |
| A4/A3 sheets | 210×297 mm / 297×420 mm | Samples, small-scale production |
| Custom cut sheets | Per customer specification | Die-cutting, assembly operations |
Sheet Thickness and Weight
TPU non-woven sheet specifications:
- Thickness range: 0.05-2.0 mm (depends on GSM and density)
- GSM range: 10-200 g/m² (as-produced)
- Density: ~1.1-1.2 g/cm³ (allows thickness calculation from GSM)
Calculation tip: Approximate thickness (mm) = GSM / (1,000 × density). For a 30 g/m² TPU non-woven with density 1.15 g/cm³: 30 / (1,000 × 1.15) ≈ 0.026 mm or 26 microns.
Sheet Applications
Die-cut components: TPU non-woven sheets are die-cut into gaskets, seals, and pads for automotive and industrial applications.
Lamination substrates: Sheet format allows precise alignment with other materials during lamination.
Medical device components: Cut sheets for wound care products, surgical drapes, and device padding.
Consumer products: Sheet material for craft, hobby, and DIY applications.
Converting and Fabrication
TPU non-woven sheets can be:
- Die-cut: Steel rule or rotary die cutting for precise shapes
- Laser cut: For intricate patterns and prototyping
- Punched: For holes, slots, and features
- Bonded: Heat sealing, ultrasonic welding, or adhesive lamination
