Ngokuqhelekileyo yenziwe kwintambo yeTPU, isetyenziswa njengodibaniso lwamandla ukulawula ukuhamba kwezixhobo eziphathwayo. Ivumela ukuphinda kuphindwe ngokukhawuleza kwaye isetyenziswa ngokubanzi kwiimoto, oomatshini, izixhobo kunye nezinye izixhobo eziphathwayo. Imithombo ihlelwa ngokolwalathiso, ikakhulu ekhohlo{2}}ekunene nasekunene{3}}imithombo yekhoyili yesandla.
Ngokwezinto eziphathekayo, ngokuyintloko ziyi-TPU kunye ne-PVC yocingo lwasentwasahlobo. I-TPU yocingo lwasentwasahlobo lubonelela ngorhatyazo, ukunganyangeki kwe-oyile, ukuxhathisa kweasidi kunye nealkali, ukuxhathisa{1}}kubushushu obuphantsi, ukunganyangeki kwe-UV, ukuxhathisa kwe-abrasion, kunye nokuxhathisa i-hydrolysis. I-PU isetyenziswa ngakumbi njengento ekhethiweyo yocingo lwasentwasahlobo.
