What is a TPU paint protection film ?
TPU stands for thermoplastic polyurethane. It is a kind of thermoplastic elastomer. Therefore, it is elastic and melt processable. It has many favorable properties such as elasticity, transparency, oil resistance and abrasion resistance. TPU is a form of block copolymer (contains soft and hard segments).
In a nutshell – in the case of paint protection films, this is the more expensive and higher quality film:
The film is much thinner – more stable and flexible
What is a PU paint protection film?
PU stands for polyurethane. It is a polymer material consisting of urethane bonds. These are also known as carbamate bonds. Most polyurethanes are thermosets. They do not melt when heated. However, there are also some thermoplastic polyurethanes.
In short, this is a paint protection film that is a little thicker than a TPU film and also not as flexible as a TPU film.
