Typical Grades

Grade	Hardness	Positioning	Key Performance	Processing	Typical Use
TPU-DF 85A IA	85A	Ink-adhesive base	Enhanced surface energy, good wetting for inks	Extrusion / Casting	Printing/transfer base film
TPU-DF 90A SR	90A	Solvent-resistant blend	Resistance to common printing solvents, stable dimensions	Extrusion / Casting	Decorative films / printed overlays
TPU-DF 95A TX	95A	Texture-ready	Matte/gloss textures, abrasion resistance	Extrusion / Casting	Logos, trims, panel decoration

Note: Surface energy (dyne level) can be tuned for ink systems; corona/primer compatibility available. Grades adjustable for thermoformability and vacuum forming if required.

Key Advantages

Optimized ink adhesion with tunable surface energy
Good solvent/abrasion resistance for printed layers
Matte, satin, or gloss textures without sacrificing clarity
Stable melt flow for consistent film thickness and registration

Key features – ink adhesion, solvent resistance, textures, stability

Processing & Recommendations

Drying: 80 °C × 2–3 h；melt 175–205 °C（by grade & line speed）
Surface prep: corona treatment（~38–46 dynes）或配套底涂
Printing: screen/gravure/flexo/inkjet compatible（ink system to be validated）
Post: heat-transfer/lamination per substrate dwell & pressure
