TPU Paint Protection Film (PPF) for Vehicle Paint Protection

*The specifications above represent one available single-layer color wrap vinyl construction. Film thickness, adhesive structure, release liner and other specifications may vary by product grade and color series.

TPU is used in automotive paint protection films because of its flexibility, conformability and surface-performance characteristics.

TPU Paint Protection Film is designed to create a transparent protective layer over compatible vehicle paint while maintaining the appearance of the original surface.

The YG Group TPU PPF range provides:

• Flexible TPU film construction
• Self-healing performance on tested grades
• Hydrophobic surface properties
• Multiple TPU film thickness options
• Full and partial vehicle protection

The final performance depends on the selected product grade, vehicle surface, installation quality and service conditions.

Choose PPF according to the protection area, film thickness, vehicle geometry and required technical performance.

1. Confirm the Protection Area

Determine whether the project requires:

• Selected high-risk area protection
• Partial vehicle protection
• Full vehicle paint protection

2. Select the Film Thickness

Available TPU face-film thicknesses include:

• 150μm
• 180μm
• 200μm

Film thickness should be considered together with flexibility, application requirements and other technical properties rather than used as the only selection criterion.

3. Evaluate Vehicle Geometry

Consider whether the installation includes:

• Flat body panels
• Gentle curves
• Bumpers
• Mirrors
• Compound curves
• Complex vehicle contours

Sample application is recommended for demanding surfaces.

4. Confirm Self-Healing Requirements

If self-healing performance is important, review the tested performance of the selected grade.

Minor scratches recover within 4 seconds at 50°C ±1°C.

5. Review Technical Data

Confirm the selected model's:

• TPU film thickness
• Adhesive layer thickness
• Release liner
• Modulus data
• Self-healing performance
• Other required performance data

6. Test Before Bulk Application

Sample testing on the actual vehicle paint surface is recommended before bulk purchasing or large-scale installation.

Self-healing is one of the key performance characteristics of suitable TPU paint protection film grades.

Minor scratches can recover within:

4 seconds at 50°C ±1°C

under the specified test condition.

Self-healing performance applies to minor surface scratches in the film.

Performance may be affected by:

• Scratch depth
• Surface temperature
• Film condition
• Environmental conditions
• Product grade

Deep cuts, punctures or damage through the film should not be expected to recover through self-healing.
