Fabrics Division
The Fabrics Division of Cathay Consolidated is responsible for Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) films and Technical Fabrics production and development.
Unlike traditional TPU film manufacturing with multiple film blowing technology, Cathay has differentiated manufacturing capability using imported lamination machines assuring uniform fabric thickness and precision process control. With this unique capability Cathay has outcompeted the industry peers. TPU is non-toxic, pollution free, and degradable material with high tensile and tearing strength. With its high abrasion resistance, anti-aging, and anti-hydrolysis properties TPU has emerged as a new type of material that could be used in various applications and developed rapidly in multiple variations among molecular materials.
Cathay’s design team can develop exclusive material with definite physical and elastic properties based on customer’s unique product need. Cathay provides sustainable solutions at product and process level serving Outdoor, Medical, Marine, Aviation and Industrial market segments.
