TPU Coated Fabric: What We Need to Know

TPU coated fabric is a technical textile made by applying a layer of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) to a woven or knitted fabric substrate, commonly polyester or nylon.

The TPU material can add waterproofing, surface protection, flexibility, abrasion resistance and other functional properties to the base textile. The final result, however, depends on more than the TPU itself. Base fabric, coating weight, coating adhesion, fabric construction and processing all contribute to the finished performance.

In other words:

TPU coated fabric should be specified as a complete textile construction, not simply by the word “TPU.”

This guide explains what TPU coating is, how it is applied, which properties it can provide, how to compare it with PU and PVC, what tests we should consider, and how to select the right construction for a specific product.


What Is TPU Coated Fabric?

TPU stands for thermoplastic polyurethane, a type of thermoplastic elastomer.

When used for textile coating, TPU is applied to the surface of a fabric to create a functional polymer layer. The underlying textile continues to provide much of the structural performance, while the coating modifies the surface and barrier characteristics.

A simplified construction is:

TPU coating layer

Woven polyester or nylon fabric

Finished TPU coated fabric

The base fabric may be:

  • Taffeta Fabric
  • Pongee Fabric
  • Oxford Fabric
  • Ripstop Fabric
  • Other woven technical textiles

The choice of substrate has a major effect on the final fabric.

For example, nylon can be attractive when flexibility, tear performance and a softer textile feel are important, while polyester is often selected where dimensional stability, cost balance or a particular construction is preferred.

Commercial TPU coated fabrics are widely developed for technical applications that require combinations of waterproofing, flexibility, abrasion resistance, surface protection and, in suitable constructions, heat sealing or welding.


TPU Coating vs TPU Membrane: They Are Not the Same

One of the most common sources of confusion is the assumption that TPU coating and TPU membrane lamination are the same process.

They are not.

TPU Coating

In a TPU coating process, the TPU material is applied directly onto the textile as a coating layer.

The final material is essentially:

Fabric + TPU coating

The coating can be engineered for different weights, hand feels and performance requirements.

TPU Membrane Lamination

With TPU membrane lamination, a pre-formed TPU membrane is bonded to the textile using a lamination or bonding process.

The construction is:

Fabric + TPU membrane

The film itself is a separate layer before it is bonded to the fabric.

Feature TPU Coating TPU Membrane Lamination
Manufacturing concept TPU applied directly as coating Pre-formed TPU membrane bonded to fabric
Final structure Fabric + coating Fabric + separate membrane layer
Coating/membrane thickness Controlled through coating system and process Primarily determined by membrane specification
Hand feel Can be adjusted through coating construction Strongly influenced by membrane thickness and type
Typical use Technical coated textiles Membrane and composite textile structures
Main consideration Coating uniformity and adhesion membrane bonding and delamination resistance

This article focuses specifically on TPU coating applied to fabric, rather than TPU film lamination.

For a broader explanation of textile lamination and composite construction, see our Lamination & Composite Fabrics Guide.


How TPU Coating Is Applied to Fabric

The exact manufacturing process depends on the coating system, equipment and required fabric construction, but the general sequence can be understood as:

Fabric preparation

TPU coating application

Heating / drying / processing

Coating formation and bonding

Cooling and finishing

Inspection and roll packing

The purpose is not simply to put TPU on the surface.

A good TPU coated fabric also needs:

  • Uniform coating coverage
  • Consistent coating weight
  • Good adhesion to the substrate
  • Controlled surface appearance
  • Stable width and weight
  • Appropriate flexibility
  • Consistent performance across the roll

This is why fabric inspection matters as much as the polymer chemistry.

A coating can have excellent material properties and still produce a poor fabric if the coating is uneven, poorly bonded or inconsistent between production batches.


What Determines the Performance of TPU Coated Fabric?

The performance of TPU coated fabric is best understood as the result of several components working together.

1. Base Fabric

The base fabric provides much of the mechanical structure.

Its construction influences:

  • Tensile strength
  • Tear strength
  • Dimensional stability
  • Weight
  • Flexibility
  • Product appearance
  • Sewing behavior

This is why we should define the base fabric first, rather than simply asking for a TPU coated fabric.


2. TPU Chemistry

TPU is not one universal material.

Different TPU systems can be developed for different combinations of:

  • Flexibility
  • Abrasion resistance
  • Hydrolysis resistance
  • Chemical resistance
  • Low-temperature performance
  • Welding behavior
  • Surface properties

For demanding environments, the type of TPU chemistry can become an important part of the specification.


3. Coating Weight and Thickness

The amount of TPU applied to the fabric affects:

  • Waterproofing
  • Surface protection
  • Finished GSM
  • Hand feel
  • Flexibility
  • Cost
  • Processing characteristics

More coating is not automatically better.

A very heavy coating may improve certain barrier or surface properties while making the fabric heavier or stiffer.

For that reason, coating weight should be selected according to the finished product rather than maximized by default.


4. Coating Adhesion

The connection between the TPU layer and the textile substrate is critical.

Poor adhesion can lead to problems such as:

  • Peeling
  • Delamination
  • Edge separation
  • Cracking during repeated folding
  • Reduced durability after processing

For technical fabrics, a supplier should be able to explain how coating adhesion is controlled and, where required, provide test data using an appropriate coated-fabric adhesion method.

A current example is ISO 2411:2024, which specifically addresses determination of coating adhesion strength for coated fabrics.

The broader lesson is more important than the standard number:

Do not evaluate TPU coated fabric only from a fresh sample. Ask how the coating-to-fabric bond is tested and whether the result meets the requirement of the finished product.


Key Properties of TPU Coated Fabric

Waterproof Performance

Waterproofing is one of the main reasons TPU coating is considered for technical fabrics.

A continuous TPU layer can reduce the pathways through which liquid water passes through the woven textile.

However:

“TPU coated” does not automatically equal a specific waterproof rating.

Actual waterproof performance depends on:

  • Coating construction
  • Coating thickness
  • Uniformity
  • Fabric construction
  • Defects or pinholes
  • Testing method
  • Seams and finished-product construction

For this reason, we should ask for an actual test value instead of relying on the word “waterproof.”

For example, a technical specification might define a required hydrostatic-pressure result rather than simply stating:

Waterproof: Yes

The difference is important because it turns a marketing description into a measurable requirement.


Abrasion Resistance

TPU can provide a durable surface that helps protect the underlying textile from repeated friction.

This can be useful for:

  • Backpacks
  • Luggage
  • Equipment bags
  • Outdoor equipment
  • Protective covers
  • Industrial textile products

But abrasion resistance belongs to the finished fabric, not the coating alone.

The correct approach is therefore to consider:

Base fabric + coating + intended contact conditions

rather than asking only:

“Is TPU abrasion resistant?”


Flexibility

TPU is attractive for applications where the fabric must remain flexible during handling and repeated use.

This is particularly relevant when the finished material will be:

  • Folded
  • Rolled
  • Bent
  • Packed
  • Compressed
  • Repeatedly handled

A coating that is too rigid may make sewing, folding or final-product assembly more difficult.

The target is therefore not maximum coating hardness.

The target is:

the right balance between protection and flexibility.


Oil and Chemical Resistance

Depending on the TPU chemistry and exposure conditions, TPU-coated fabrics can provide resistance to oils, greases and selected chemicals.

This can be useful in:

  • Industrial environments
  • Automotive-related products
  • Equipment covers
  • Technical bags
  • Products exposed to oils or lubricants

Chemical resistance should always be evaluated against the specific chemical environment.

We should know:

  • Chemical name
  • Concentration
  • Temperature
  • Exposure duration
  • Cleaning method
  • Whether contact is intermittent or continuous

Without this information, the term “chemical resistant” is too broad to be a useful purchasing specification.


Low-Temperature Flexibility

Some TPU formulations can maintain flexibility at lower temperatures, which can be useful for outdoor products and technical textiles operating in cold environments.

Potential applications include:

  • Winter outdoor products
  • Cold-weather equipment
  • Technical bags
  • Outdoor covers
  • Inflatable products
  • Equipment used in cold storage

The exact performance depends on TPU grade and construction.

Therefore, rather than specifying:

TPU for extreme cold

it is better to specify:

Required operating temperature, and then evaluate the actual fabric.


Surface Protection and Cleanability

TPU can create a relatively smooth and continuous coated surface.

Depending on formulation and finish, this can help with:

  • Surface protection
  • Dirt removal
  • Resistance to certain contaminants
  • Product appearance
  • Handling

This can be useful in products that are repeatedly exposed to dirt, moisture or surface contamination.

However, cleanability is not a universal TPU property. It depends on the final surface construction and the type of contamination involved.


Heat Sealing and Welding

Because TPU is thermoplastic, suitable TPU-coated fabrics can be designed for heat sealing or welding processes.

This is especially relevant for products where seams need to provide a sealed barrier.

Applications may include:

  • Dry bags
  • Inflatable products
  • Flexible air chambers
  • Technical containers
  • Certain rescue or industrial products

The actual welding behavior depends on TPU formulation, coating thickness, fabric structure and processing conditions.

A fabric that is technically “TPU coated” should not automatically be assumed to work with every heat-welding process.

The fabric should be tested with the actual:

  • Temperature
  • Pressure
  • Dwell time
  • Welding equipment
  • Seam design

Polyester-Based TPU vs Polyether-Based TPU

A useful distinction when sourcing TPU coated fabric is the chemistry of the TPU itself.

Two commonly discussed families are polyester-based TPU and polyether-based TPU.

Property Polyester-Based TPU Polyether-Based TPU
Mechanical performance Very good Very good
Abrasion resistance Very good Very good
Flexibility Very good Excellent in suitable grades
Hydrolysis resistance Generally lower Generally higher
Humid environment suitability Application dependent Often preferred when hydrolysis is critical
Chemical exposure Depends on formulation Depends on formulation
Cost Often competitive Can be higher depending on grade
Best selection approach Match to mechanical and chemical needs Consider when long-term humidity/hydrolysis resistance is critical

Polyether-based TPU is often considered when prolonged moisture and hydrolysis exposure is an important concern, while polyester-based TPU can be attractive where mechanical performance and cost balance are important. The exact choice should be made from the technical data rather than from chemistry names alone.

Why Hydrolysis Matters

Hydrolysis is a degradation process involving the interaction of susceptible polymer chemistry with water and heat over time.

This matters when a product will experience:

  • High humidity
  • High temperatures
  • Long service life
  • Repeated moisture exposure
  • Tropical or hot-wet climates

If the finished product will spend years in a hot and humid environment, asking for hydrolysis resistance may be more useful than simply specifying “high-quality TPU.”


TPU Coated Fabric vs PU Coated Fabric vs PVC Coated Fabric

TPU, PU and PVC are all used in coated textiles, but they are not interchangeable.

The right choice depends on the required balance of performance, cost, weight and manufacturing process.

Consideration PU Coating TPU Coating PVC Coating
Flexibility Generally very good Generally very good to excellent Depends strongly on formulation
Waterproofing Good to excellent Good to excellent Good to excellent
Abrasion resistance Good Often very good Often very good
Weight Often lighter Moderate Often heavier
Surface protection Good Very good Very good
Low-temperature behavior Formulation dependent Formulation dependent, with suitable grades available More formulation dependent
Breathability potential Possible with suitable systems Depends on construction Generally lower
Welding suitability Depends on system Suitable grades available Depends on formulation/process
Typical positioning Cost-effective coated fabrics Technical and performance-oriented applications Heavy-duty and economical coated fabrics

These are general tendencies, not universal rankings. A high-performance PU coating may outperform a basic TPU coating in one requirement, while a TPU construction may be a better choice for another.

Our existing Fabric Coatings Guide provides an overview of PU, PVC, TPU and other coating technologies.


When Should You Choose TPU Coating?

TPU becomes particularly attractive when a product needs several properties at the same time.

Choose TPU when the project requires a combination of:

  • Waterproofing and flexibility
  • Waterproofing and abrasion resistance
  • Flexible handling with surface protection
  • Chemical or oil resistance in suitable formulations
  • Low-temperature flexibility
  • Heat sealing or welding compatibility

TPU is not necessarily the best choice for every waterproof fabric.

For simple applications where cost is the main consideration, PU may be more appropriate.

For heavy-duty covers where a thick, highly durable coating is needed, PVC may remain a practical option.

The important question is not:

“Is TPU the best coating?”

It is:

“What coating gives this product the required performance at the right weight and cost?”


TPU Coated Oxford Fabric

Oxford fabric is a useful substrate for TPU coating because the woven base provides a stable textile structure while the coating adds functional surface properties.

Common denier levels include:

  • 210D
  • 300D
  • 420D
  • 600D
  • 900D
  • 1000D
  • 1680D

However, denier alone does not determine the performance of the finished fabric.

Buyers should also consider:

  • Fiber type
  • Yarn construction
  • Weave
  • Fabric density
  • GSM
  • Coating weight
  • Width
  • Finish
  • Color
  • Required performance

Our Oxford Fabric Manufacturer & Supplier page covers a broad range of woven polyester and nylon Oxford fabrics, including multiple denier constructions and custom TPU coating options.


Two TPU Coated Fabric Examples for Different Applications

Using actual fabric constructions is often more useful than discussing “TPU fabric” as though it were one material.

Example 1: 420D Nylon TPU Coated Oxford

Our 420D TPU coated nylon Oxford fabric is a 100% nylon, 420D construction weighing approximately 150 gsm, with a 58/60-inch width. It is positioned for bags, backpacks, luggage and related applications where waterproof performance needs to be combined with relatively manageable fabric weight.

This type of construction can be appropriate when the buyer is trying to balance:

Durability + waterproofing + manageable weight

See the 420D TPU Coated Nylon Oxford Fabric product page for its current specification.


Example 2: 1680D Polyester TPU Coated Oxford

Our 1680D TPU-coated polyester Oxford fabric uses a 100% polyester, 1680D base with a 280 gsm finished weight and 58/60-inch width. The fabric is designed for applications where a stronger base structure, surface protection, waterproofing and oil resistance are important.

The difference between the two examples is important:

The coating is only one part of the material specification.

Changing from 420D nylon to 1680D polyester changes the mechanical structure, weight and likely end-use positioning even before the coating chemistry is considered.

See the 1680D Polyester Oxford Fabric With TPU Coating product page for details.


How to Choose the Right TPU Coated Fabric

A good TPU fabric specification starts from the finished product and works backward.

Step 1: Define the End Use

Ask:

  • What product will the fabric become?
  • Indoor or outdoor?
  • Flexible or semi-structured?
  • Sewn or welded?
  • Exposed to rain?
  • Exposed to oils or chemicals?
  • Used in cold conditions?
  • Frequently folded?
  • Subject to heavy abrasion?

This should come before selecting the coating.


Step 2: Choose the Base Fabric

Specify:

  • Polyester or nylon
  • Denier
  • Weave
  • Fabric density
  • GSM

There is no universal “best denier.” The choice depends on the required combination of weight, strength, durability and cost.


Step 3: Define the TPU Coating

Specify:

  • Coating side
  • TPU type where relevant
  • Coating weight
  • Finished GSM
  • Surface appearance
  • Hand feel
  • Color
  • Required waterproof performance

Step 4: Define the Performance Targets

Instead of using vague descriptions such as:

Waterproof
Strong
Durable

provide measurable requirements where possible.

For example:

  • Hydrostatic pressure
  • Tensile strength
  • Tear strength
  • Abrasion resistance
  • Coating adhesion
  • Low-temperature requirement
  • Hydrolysis resistance
  • Chemical resistance

The exact test method should be agreed with us based on the application.


How Much TPU Coating Is Enough?

There is no universal ideal coating thickness.

A lighter TPU construction may be desirable when:

  • Finished weight matters
  • Softness is important
  • The fabric must fold easily
  • Cost needs to be controlled

A heavier coating may make sense when:

  • Higher barrier performance is required
  • Surface protection is important
  • The product is exposed to significant abrasion
  • Heat sealing or welding performance requires a certain coating structure

The relationship is not simply:

More TPU = Better Fabric

A thicker coating can also mean:

  • Higher GSM
  • Higher cost
  • More stiffness
  • Different sewing behavior
  • Different folding behavior
  • Different welding behavior

This is why the finished fabric weight and actual performance test are often more useful than coating thickness alone.


What Causes TPU Coating Problems?

In production, not every problem originates from the TPU chemistry.

Several common issues can occur.

Problem Possible Cause What to Check
Coating peeling Poor adhesion or unsuitable processing Coating adhesion test
Coating cracking Excessive stiffness or repeated folding Flexibility and low-temperature behavior
Water leakage Pinholes, uneven coating or defects Waterproof testing
Fabric feels too stiff Excessive coating weight Finished GSM and coating construction
Welding performs poorly TPU grade/process mismatch Welding trial
Long-term degradation in humid conditions Unsuitable TPU chemistry Hydrolysis resistance
Uneven appearance Coating process inconsistency Roll-to-roll inspection
Edge separation Processing or adhesion problem Edge and coating inspection

This is why a sample that looks good in the hand should not automatically be approved for mass production.

The final fabric should be evaluated under the actual conditions it is expected to face.


Pinholes and Coating Uniformity

For waterproof coated textiles, one small defect can be more important than a large amount of theoretical material data.

Potential issues include:

  • Pinholes
  • Thin spots
  • Uneven coating
  • Contamination
  • Cracks
  • Surface defects
  • Incomplete coverage

These defects can create weak points in the barrier.


What Tests Should You Request for TPU Coated Fabric?

The exact testing program depends on the finished product.

However, the following properties are commonly worth discussing during development:

Requirement Example of What to Evaluate
Waterproofness Hydrostatic pressure / water penetration
Tensile strength Warp and weft strength
Tear strength Warp and weft tear
Coating adhesion Adhesion or peel strength
Abrasion Relevant abrasion method for the application
Hydrolysis Aging under heat and humidity where relevant
Low-temperature performance Flexibility after cold exposure
Chemical resistance Exposure to actual chemicals used in service
Color performance Color fastness and appearance stability
Dimensional stability Width and dimensional change

The test standard should be agreed according to the buyer's market, product category and technical specification.

For coated fabrics, the test method is important because the same property can be measured in different ways.


Is TPU Coated Fabric Suitable for Outdoor Products?

Yes, TPU-coated textiles can be useful for outdoor products where waterproofing, flexibility, abrasion resistance and surface protection are required.

Typical applications include:

  • Backpacks
  • Luggage
  • Dry bags
  • Outdoor equipment bags
  • Protective covers
  • Waterproof accessories
  • Inflatable products
  • Technical outdoor equipment

The appropriate construction depends on the conditions.

For example:

A lightweight travel product may prioritize low weight and flexibility.

A heavy equipment bag may prioritize abrasion resistance and structural strength.

An inflatable product may prioritize welding behavior and airtight performance.

The same coating name can therefore appear in very different fabric specifications.


TPU Coated Fabric for Bags and Backpacks

For bags, the decision is often a balance between:

Weight + durability + waterproofing + sewing/welding + cost

A lightweight nylon TPU coated fabric may be appropriate for:

  • Lightweight bags
  • Travel accessories
  • Backpacks
  • Pouches
  • Garment accessories

Heavier polyester or nylon constructions may be more suitable for:

  • Equipment bags
  • Tool bags
  • Heavy-duty luggage
  • Protective cases

Our existing 420D TPU Coated Nylon Oxford Fabric is positioned toward lighter bag and luggage applications, while the 1680D Polyester TPU Coated Oxford Fabric provides a heavier construction for more demanding applications.


TPU Coated Fabric for Inflatable Products

Inflatable products create a different set of requirements.

The fabric may need:

  • Waterproofing
  • Airtightness
  • Flexible folding
  • Good coating adhesion
  • Reliable welding
  • Resistance to repeated stress

Products may include:

  • Inflatable boats
  • Air cushions
  • Inflatable rescue equipment
  • Flexible air chambers
  • Certain technical medical or industrial products

In these applications, choosing fabric only by GSM or denier is not enough.


TPU Coated Fabric for Industrial Applications

Industrial applications can introduce more demanding exposure conditions.

For example:

  • Oil
  • Lubricants
  • Cleaning chemicals
  • Mechanical abrasion
  • Repeated folding
  • High humidity
  • Temperature variation

For these products, we should identify the actual environment before selecting the coating.

A material that performs well in a dry outdoor application may not have the same long-term behavior in a hot, humid industrial environment.

This is where TPU chemistry, adhesion and testing become especially important.


What Affects the Cost of TPU Coated Fabric?

TPU-coated fabric is not priced by the coating name alone.

Cost can be influenced by:

Base fabric

Higher-denier and more complex woven constructions generally require more raw material.

Fiber type

Nylon and polyester have different cost and performance profiles.

Fabric weight

Higher GSM normally means more material.

TPU coating weight

More coating increases material consumption.

TPU chemistry

Specialized grades may cost more than general-purpose systems.

Custom color

Custom color matching can add development and production requirements.

Functional finishing

Additional requirements such as antistatic, flame retardant or other finishes can increase complexity.

Order quantity

Larger production quantities can change the cost structure.

Testing requirements

Special testing, certification or inspection can also add project cost.

For this reason, the correct way to compare quotations is to compare equivalent specifications, not just the price.


Is TPU More Environmentally Friendly Than PVC?

TPU is sometimes promoted as a more environmentally favorable alternative to PVC, but this statement should be treated carefully.

The environmental profile of a coated textile depends on:

  • Polymer chemistry
  • Additives
  • Manufacturing process
  • Product lifetime
  • Recycling route
  • Base textile
  • Coating construction
  • End-of-life treatment

Some TPU systems can support thermoplastic processing and certain recycling or lower-VOC product strategies, but that does not mean every TPU coated fabric is automatically “eco-friendly.”


Frequently Asked Questions About TPU Coated Fabric

What is TPU coated fabric?

TPU coated fabric is a textile, commonly polyester or nylon, with a thermoplastic polyurethane layer applied to the fabric surface. The coating can improve waterproofing, surface protection, flexibility, abrasion resistance and other functional properties depending on the construction.

Is TPU coated fabric waterproof?

TPU coating can provide strong waterproof performance, but “TPU coated” does not define a specific waterproof rating. The actual result depends on coating construction, thickness, uniformity, fabric structure and testing.

Is TPU coating the same as TPU film?

No. TPU coating is applied directly to the textile as a coating layer, while TPU film is a pre-formed film that is bonded to the fabric.

Is TPU better than PU coating?

Not always. TPU may offer advantages in abrasion resistance, flexibility, surface durability and certain technical applications, while PU can offer a strong cost-performance balance for many conventional coated-fabric applications.

Is TPU better than PVC?

That depends on the application. TPU can be attractive where flexibility, abrasion resistance, low-temperature behavior or welding compatibility are important. PVC can remain practical for heavy-duty, thick-coated and cost-sensitive applications.

Is TPU coated fabric suitable for nylon?

Yes. Nylon is a common substrate for TPU coated fabric, particularly for products where flexibility, strength and lightweight construction are important.

Is TPU coated fabric suitable for polyester?

Yes. Polyester is also widely used as a TPU coating substrate. The appropriate choice depends on the desired mechanical and dimensional properties.

Is TPU coated fabric breathable?

Not automatically. A dense TPU coating creates a strong barrier and may restrict moisture-vapor transmission. Breathability should be specified and tested separately when required.

Can TPU coated fabric be welded?

Suitable TPU coating systems can be designed for heat sealing or welding. The fabric should be tested using the customer's actual welding equipment and process conditions.

Which TPU is better for humid environments?

Where long-term moisture and hydrolysis exposure are important, polyether-based TPU may be considered because of its generally higher hydrolysis resistance. However, the actual grade and product construction should be evaluated rather than selecting solely by chemistry name.

Does thicker TPU coating mean better quality?

No. Thicker coating may increase barrier or surface protection, but it can also increase weight, cost and stiffness. The correct coating weight is the one that meets the required performance without unnecessary material.

How should TPU coating adhesion be tested?

The supplier should specify the coated-fabric adhesion method used and provide the relevant result where required. ISO 2411:2024 is one current standard specifically addressing coating adhesion strength for coated fabrics.


Final Thoughts: Choosing TPU Coated Fabric by Performance, Not by Name

TPU coated fabric is valuable because it can combine several useful properties in one textile construction.

Depending on the formulation and fabric design, it can offer:

  • Waterproofing
  • Flexibility
  • Abrasion resistance
  • Surface protection
  • Oil and chemical resistance in suitable grades
  • Low-temperature flexibility
  • Heat-sealing or welding compatibility

But there is no universal “best TPU fabric.”

A lightweight 20D nylon construction may be the right choice for a bag where weight and flexibility matter.

A heavy 600D polyester construction may be more appropriate where stronger structure and surface protection are required.

A product used in a hot and humid environment may require greater attention to TPU chemistry and hydrolysis resistance.

An inflatable product may place much more emphasis on coating adhesion and welding performance.

The right approach is therefore to start with the finished product, define the required performance, and then select the combination of base fabric, TPU coating and processing that meets those requirements.
