What kind of material is the TPU mentioned in the material description?
When encountering the English abbreviation TPU in descriptions of clothing accessories, it is difficult to determine specifically what texture and characteristics the material possesses.
TPU is a synthetic material that simultaneously combines the elasticity of rubber and the rigidity of plastic, maintaining its shape without wearing out or stretching easily.
TPU stands for thermoplastic polyurethane, a synthetic material that combines the properties of both rubber and plastic. It bends elastically like rubber, while also possessing the durability of plastic, being resistant to friction and not tearing easily. In daily life, it is widely used for mobile phone cases that need to disperse external impacts, or parts of athletic shoe outsoles that must endure friction.
HYEIN SEO has applied this tough synthetic material alone to the main straps that attach to garments. The harness wrapping around the upper body of the Half-Zip Racer Top w/ Harness is crafted from 100% TPU without any yarn blends[1]. The garter belt accessory connecting the waist and leg on the Graphic Wrap Skirt w/ Garter Belt is also constructed using 100% TPU[2].
hmmm, by wrapping a flexible elastic material instead of rigid leather or metal, it maintains a distinct band shape without restricting movement.
We have not yet confirmed stain care methods or specific washing precautions for TPU accessories.
