The breathability of TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) fabric depends on several factors, including the thickness of the material, the type of TPU used, and the construction of the fabric.
TPU is a type of synthetic polymer that is known for its elasticity, durability, and resistance to abrasion and tearing. When TPU is used to make fabric, it can be formulated in a way that makes it breathable, allowing air and moisture to pass through the material.
However, the breathability of TPU fabric can vary greatly depending on the specific formulation and construction of the material. Thicker TPU fabrics are generally less breathable than thinner ones, and some types of TPU may be formulated to be more or less breathable than others.
The construction of the fabric also plays a role in its breathability. For example, fabrics that are made with a mesh construction or have large pores are generally more breathable than those that are made with a solid construction or have smaller pores.
In general, TPU fabric is considered to be less breathable than natural fabrics such as cotton or silk, but more breathable than synthetic fabrics such as PVC or vinyl. The breathability of TPU fabric can also be improved by incorporating breathable membranes or coatings into the fabric.
