Distinguish the quality of TPU car clothing film

02-02, 2024 | View:

TPU car body film is a film used to protect the car body. Its quality is directly related to the protective effect and service life of the car body. The following will introduce how to distinguish the quality of TPU car clothing film from several aspects.

1. Appearance quality

Glossiness: A good TPU car film has good gloss, smooth surface and good reflection effect. Glossiness can be evaluated by observing whether there are obvious bubbles, scratches or unevenness on the surface of the diaphragm.

Transparency: A good TPU car clothing film has high transparency, no color difference and atomization. You can place the film on white paper to observe whether there is obvious color difference, or evaluate the transparency through a light transmittance test.

Thickness uniformity: A good TPU car clothing film should have a uniform thickness to avoid uneven thickness. A thickness gauge can be used to check whether the thickness at different locations is consistent.

2. Weather resistance

Anti-UV: A good TPU car film should have good anti-UV properties, which can effectively resist the erosion of ultraviolet rays and prevent the car paint from aging and fading. UV resistance can be evaluated through exposure testing.

Acid and alkali resistance: A good TPU car clothing film should have a certain acid and alkali resistance and be able to resist the erosion of car paint by acid rain, stains, etc. Acid and alkali tests can be performed to evaluate its acid and alkali resistance.

Weather resistance: A good TPU car clothing film should have a long service life and be able to maintain stable performance under various harsh weather conditions. Weathering performance can be evaluated by aging tests simulating natural environments.

3. Installation performance

Adhesion: A good TPU car clothing film should have good adhesion, be able to adhere firmly to the car body, and will not leave any glue marks when removed. Adhesion testing can be performed to evaluate adhesion performance.

Plasticity: A good TPU car clothing film should have good plasticity and be able to adapt to various curved surfaces and edges of the car body. Tensile and bending tests can be performed to evaluate plasticity properties.

Self-healing: Some advanced TPU car clothing films have self-healing function, that is, they can automatically repair through heat after scratches. A scratch test can be performed to evaluate self-healing performance.

4. Brand and after-sales service

Brand reputation: Good TPU car clothing films are usually produced by well-known and reputable brands, and their product quality is more guaranteed.

After-sales service: A good TPU car film supplier should provide complete after-sales service, including installation guidance, instructions for use, questions and answers, etc.

The evaluation of the quality of TPU car clothing film can be comprehensively considered from aspects such as appearance quality, weather resistance, installation performance, brand and after-sales service. It is recommended to understand the performance indicators and relevant certifications of the product before purchasing, and choose a reputable brand to ensure the quality and effectiveness of the selected car film.
