The majority of products manufactured by Greengate for use in inflatable products is coated with thermoplastic polyurethane or TPU. The structure of the TPU is such that a wide variety of fabrication techniques can be used including RF welding, hot air welding, hot knife welding and gluing; or combinations of these.

The polyurethane is chosen because it provides a tough abrasion resistant barrier which has excellent low temperature performance and it does not support fungal growth. The polyurethane coating is available in its clear natural state or pigmented, either to our standard range our customised to meet you requirements.
