TPU Can't Be Dry Cleaned? Says Who? Enough of Rigid PA film? The Dry-Cleanable TPU hot melt adhesive film Breakthrough. The Truth About Wool & Cashmere Bonding

In our world, technology exists to break the laws of chemistry.

For example, redefined the standard for Luxury Techwear.

"If you want softness, use TPU. If you want dry cleaning, use PA. You can't have both." Ask any textile engineer, and they will tell you the "Golden Rule" of bonding.

The Industry Myth: "TPU Hates Dry Cleaning" For decades, designers faced a brutal choice:

• Need Dry Cleaning? Use PA (Polyamide). But accept that it's stiff, rigid, and has zero stretch.

Need Softness & Stretch? Use TPU. But accept that it will swell or dissolve in Perchloroethylene (Dry Clean Solvent).

Is Dry-Cleanable TPU possible?

This limitation has held back the evolution of Luxury Techwear—until now.

Well, we disagreed.

Banbanson® Banbanson has engineered a new class of TPU.

By modifying the polymer backbone and introducing specific cross-linking agents, we have created a film that is chemically inert to dry cleaning solvents while retaining the physical DNA of TPU, proud to announce that we have engineered the impossible.

It stays soft. It stays elastic. And it stays bonded

Why is this a big deal?

Because for the first time, Luxury Techwear designers can have it all:

• The comfort of a second skin.

• The stretch of performance sportswear.

• The care label of a high-end wool coat.

Welcome to the new standard.

Why This is the Holy Grail for SS27/FW27?

• Scenario A: The "Tech-Tailoring" Revolution

  • The Trend: Brands using twist, stretch wools.

  • The Fix: Standard PA tape kills the stretch. Our Dry-Clean TPU moves with the wool, allowing for Seamless Hems and Invisible Vents that stretch and recover perfectly.

• Scenario B: Luxury Stretch Down

  • The Trend: Nylon stretch shells that require dry cleaning.

  • The Fix: A bond that is soft, silent, and withstands the chemical rigors of luxury garment care.

• Scenario C: Silk & Delicate Laminations

  • The Trend: Bonding silk linings without stiffening the drape.

  • The Fix: Our Ultra-thin (0.05-0.1mm) Soft TPU adds invisible reinforcement without turning the silk into cardboard.

The Truth About Wool & Cashmere Bonding

The Heritage Upgrade (Wool & Cashmere)

• The Old Way: Traditional makers of Trench Coats and Cashmere Overcoats rely on PA Web (Polyamide) for hemming. It withstands dry cleaning, yes—but it adds a stiff, "paper-like" ridge to the fabric. It kills the natural drape of luxury wool.

• The BeyondSeams™ Way —— Our Modified TPU is chemically inert to Perchloroethylene (Dry Clean Solvent) but physically behaves like a second skin.

  Result You can now bond a Cashmere hem that remains soft, fluid, and invisible, even after dry clean cycles. It supports the fabric without freezing it.

Who are we?

Banbanson® Infinite Adaptability

Banbanson® is  a vertically integrated solution provider with full control over Machinery, Chemistry, and Application since 1986.

we evolve machine with our in-house mechanical engineering team to achieve textures and bonding properties that off-the-shelf equipment cannot produce. We also possess the rare ability to formulate at the polymer level. If you have a fabric, we have a way. From rigid structural films to breathable webs, from high-temp industrial tapes to low-temp bio-bonds. Our capability is not defined by a catalog, it is defined by your challenge.​

Stop compromising. You no longer have to choose between "Soft" and "Dry Cleanable." Design for the future of luxury.
