Medical-Grade TPU Film:
The Core Barrier Layer of Protective Gowns
When healthcare workers face exposure to bloodborne pathogens, viruses, and hazardous fluids, the thin layer of film inside their protective garment is the line between safety and infection. That film is TPU — Thermoplastic Polyurethane.
Functech’s medical-grade TPU films are engineered specifically for surgical gowns, isolation gowns, hazmat suits, and pandemic-response PPE. They deliver the critical combination of fluid barrier performance and body-comfort breathability that disposable nonwoven alone simply cannot achieve.
Surgical Gowns (Level 2–4)
The laminated TPU barrier layer prevents strike-through of blood and body fluids during procedures. Meets AAMI PB70 and EN 13795 standards for critical zone protection.
Isolation Gowns & Coveralls
Worn in ICUs, infectious disease wards, and general isolation. Our TPU film delivers consistent fluid resistance while the breathable membrane prevents heat stress during extended wear.
Pandemic PPE & Hazmat Suits
During COVID-19 and emerging infectious disease response, our TPU film was used in millions of protective garments exported globally — proven performance when it matters most.
Sterile Drapes & Surgical Packs
Thin, lightweight TPU laminate used as the impervious reinforcement layer in sterile field drapes, instrument wraps, and procedure-specific surgical pack components.
Lab & Biosafety Apparel
Biosafety Level 2–3 lab coats, aprons, and sleeve protectors. Resists chemical splash and biological agents while maintaining the dexterity needed for precise laboratory work.
First Responder & EMS Gear
Paramedic jackets and emergency response coveralls demand durability plus protection. Our TPU film meets both — flexible enough for physical activity, tough enough for real-world exposure.
Superior Fluid Barrier
Hydrostatic head pressure resistance >100 cmH₂O. Zero strike-through even under sustained surgical splash — verified by EN 13795 and AAMI PB70 test protocols.
High MVTR Breathability
Moisture vapor transmission rate of 6,000–10,000 g/m²/24h. Medical staff can work comfortably for hours without overheating — a critical ergonomic advantage in the OR.
Silent, Soft Hand-Feel
Ultra-thin film (15–35 µm) with engineered softness produces zero crinkle noise. Ideal for operating-room environments where acoustic comfort is required.
Biocompatible & Non-Toxic
Formulated without heavy metals, plasticizers, or restricted substances. Passes ISO 10993 biocompatibility screening — safe for prolonged skin contact in clinical use.
Excellent Lamination Adhesion
Outstanding bonding to SMS, spunbond PP, and PE nonwoven substrates via thermal lamination. Consistent peel strength >3.5 N/cm throughout the full roll width.
Fully Customizable Spec
Thickness 12–80 µm, width up to 2.2 m, roll length to order. Barrier level, color, and surface finish adjustable to your gown design and manufacturing line requirements.
⚗️ How Breathable TPU Film Works
The membrane structure features billions of micropores — each pore is 20,000× smaller than a water droplet, yet large enough to allow water vapor molecules to pass through freely. Breathability never degrades over time, unlike chemical coatings that wash out.
- Barrier: >100 cmH₂O hydrostatic pressure resistance
- Breathability: MVTR 6,000–10,000 g/m²/24h (JIS L 1099 A-1)
- Weight: 18–40 g/m² — 30% lighter than PE alternatives
- Elongation: >400% — no tearing during vigorous movement
- Bacterial filtration efficiency: >98% (BFE, EN ISO 22612)
You Don’t Have to Choose
Between Barrier & Comfort
Traditional protective gowns made from impermeable PE or polypropylene trap heat and moisture, causing rapid fatigue and heat stress for medical staff. The industry response — thinner, cheaper laminate — sacrifices the barrier integrity that protects lives.
Functech’s breathable TPU membrane solves this dilemma at the material level. Our microporous or hydrophilic film architecture allows water vapor (sweat) to escape while blocking liquid water droplets and pathogens. This is the same membrane technology used in elite outdoor garments — re-engineered for the clinical environment.

“We switched from a Korean supplier to Functech during COVID-19. The XG-MED-2 film passed our AAMI Level 3 validation on the first attempt — no reformulation needed. Lead time was 10 days even during the pandemic peak. We have been their customer ever since.”
“The breathability of their medical TPU film is noticeably better than what we were using before. Our surgical gown customers reported significantly less heat stress during long procedures. Quality is very consistent — we rarely see roll-to-roll variation.”
“Functech provided the cleanroom certification documents and third-party test reports we needed for our FDA 510(k) submission. Their technical team was responsive and understood regulatory requirements — that is rare in a Chinese supplier. Highly recommended.”
