Technical data for home textile adhesive films.
Performance Comparison of Four Core Materials
| Performance Dimension | PES | TPU (Polyether) | TPE | PO/EAA |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wash resistance (cycles) | ≥100 | ≥80 | ≥60 | ≥30 |
| Shaping durability (years) | ≥5 | ≥3 | ≥2 | ≥1 |

| Adhesion to cotton/linen | ★★★★ | ★★★★★ | ★★★★ | ★★★ |
| Adhesion to foam/latex | ★★★ | ★★★★ | ★★★★★ | ★★★ |
| Adhesion to leather/synthetic | ★★★★ | ★★★★★ | ★★★★ | ★★★★★ |
| Softness (Shore A) | 95-98 | 70-90 | 50-70 | 85-95 |
| Recommended applications | Blackout curtains, wall coverings, high-temp shaping | Sofas, mattresses, general | Baby bedding, close-contact cushions, soft pads | Carpets, non-slip backing, PVC lamination |
Decision Tree:
- High-frequency washing (≥50 cycles) → PES / PA hydrolysis-resistant series
- Permanent shaping (curtains, sofa backrests) → PA high-crystallinity shaping film
- Skin-friendly infant-grade safety → Medical-grade TPE / PES
- Foam/latex soft pad lamination → Low-modulus TPE (no foam collapse)
- Carpet/PVC non-slip backing lamination → PO/EAA specific film
Common Failure Modes & Solutions
| Failure | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Curtain shrinks, deforms after washing | ① Fabric not pre-shrunk; ② Film shrinkage too high; ③ Wrong shaping film | ① Pre-shrink fabric; ② Use PES/PA low-shrinkage film; ③ Switch to PA permanent shaping film |
| Sofa foam collapses, stiffens | ① Film modulus too high; ② Lamination temp too high causing foam collapse | ① Switch to low-modulus TPE; ② Lower temp to <110°C, shorten hold time |
| Mattress feels stuffy, non-breathable | ① Wrong use of solid dense film; ② Web basis weight too high | ① Switch to TPU/PES web; ② Keep basis weight 18-30g/m² |
| Wall covering bubbles, debonds | ① Dust on substrate; ② Film absorbed moisture; ③ Insufficient lamination | ① Clean wall/backing; ② Pre-dry film 60°C×2h; ③ Raise temp 10-15°C |
| Carpet delaminates under foot traffic | ① Insufficient adhesion; ② Mold release on non-slip backing | ① Switch to PO/EAA high-tack film; ② Clean or roughen non-slip backing |
| Light fabric turns yellow | ① Insufficient UV resistance; ② Thermal oxidation due to high temp | ① Switch to UV-resistant TPU; ② Lower temp to <110°C |
