Why Color TPU Films, Why Now

Stricter sustainability targets, higher paint-shop costs and complex color programs make it harder to scale conventional coatings. Multi-step spraying and masking slow down launches, especially for two-tone and special-effect designs.

Aigix PaintFilm™, color TPU films move color, decoration and protection into a pre-engineered film. OEM and industrial customers can cut paint-shop complexity, relieve paint capacity bottlenecks and enable flexible color strategies without rebuilding the paint line.

OEM & Industrial Solutions

OEM & industrial PaintFilm™

Aigix PaintFilm™, color TPU films give OEM and industrial customers a paint-like alternative for exterior parts and panels. The films are engineered to match OEM paint in weathering and color retention, with enhanced gloss and surface appearance.

Color and protection are combined in one film, helping reduce spray operations, relieve paint capacity constraints and support flexible color changes without long paint-shop rework.

Automotive OEM exterior applications include:

  • Suspended roofs and roof rails
  • Two-tone body and contrast roofs
  • Graphics and stripes
  • B/C pillars and exterior trim components

Non-automotive applications include:

  • Refrigerator doors and trims
  • Industrial panels and cabinets
  • Smart device housings and decorative covers
OEM and industrial applications

Automotive Aftermarket – Aigix Color PPF

2-in-1 color & protection

Aigix Color PPF combines the freedom of color change with the protection of a high-end TPU film. One film delivers both design and defense for premium restyling projects.

Positioning vs vinyl wrap & clear PPF:

  • 2-in-1 color styling and paint protection in a single color TPU film.
  • Color and gloss retention engineered to be close to OEM paint levels.
  • One film for both appearance upgrades and long-term surface protection.

Typical applications:

  • Full-vehicle color changes with integrated protection
  • Partial wraps for hoods, roofs, mirrors and accents
  • Upgrades for premium or leased vehicles

Installer experience:

  • Dry-apply installation with micro-channel adhesive for air release.
  • Soft, highly conformable TPU for easier wrapping and deep-draw coverage than typical PPF or vinyl wrap.

Sustainable Decorative & PVC Replacement

PVC-free decorative films

Aigix color TPU films provide a PVC-free, phthalate-free decorative platform for automotive, appliance, architectural and consumer applications, combining premium appearance with long-term stability.

Why move beyond PVC wraps and films:

  • Plasticizer-free TPU construction avoids typical PVC migration issues.
  • Supports brand ESG goals and regulatory compliance roadmaps.
  • Helps maintain appearance and adhesion over extended use.

Typical decorative applications:

  • Automotive interior and exterior trim
  • Home appliances and consumer electronics fronts and panels
  • Architectural and furniture panels

Technology


Color TPU Film Platform – Materials & Structure

Aigix color TPU films use a multi-layer architecture built on a common TPU base. The self-healing layer, clear TPU layer, color TPU layer and blocking TPU layer are formed together in a single liquid casting step, then paired with a tuned adhesive.

  • Self-healing surface layer for fine scratch recovery.
  • Clear TPU layer for gloss and depth, similar to a clearcoat in paint.
  • Color TPU layer for vivid, stable color.
  • Blocking TPU layer (black or white) for controlled hiding power.
  • Application-specific pressure-sensitive adhesive for installation.

The functional TPU layers are co-cast as one integrated film, minimizing internal stress and delamination risk over temperature cycles.

Color TPU multilayer structure

Casting-Grade TPU Liquid Process

Aigix uses a liquid casting process instead of conventional high-temperature extrusion:

  • Low-temperature production improves TPU resistance to combined heat and humidity.
  • Clear, color and blocking layers are co-cast on one TPU base to reduce mismatch and layer splitting.
  • Nano pigments are dispersed uniformly in TPU for even color and low color shift under forming.

Nano Pigment & Color Architecture

Aigix develops nano pigment dispersions in-house and controls both dispersion and pigment surface treatment to deliver:

  • Vivid, clean colors with high chroma and depth.
  • Uniform color on complex geometries after forming and wrapping.
  • Stable performance under weathering and combined heat/humidity, supporting long-term color and gloss retention.

Durability & Reliability

Color TPU film systems are validated using OEM-relevant methods, including:

  • Combined heat/humidity (e.g., extended 85°C / 85% RH exposure).
  • Accelerated weathering, including SAE J2527 xenon-arc tests up to 3000 hours to confirm color and gloss retention.
  • Chemical resistance, stone-chip and thermal cycling tests.

Key test data are available to qualified customers on request.


Adhesive & Dry-Apply System

  • Acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives tuned for substrates and conditions.
  • Low initial tack for sliding, repositioning and air release during install.
  • Micro-channel structures for dry, bubble-minimizing installation.
  • Controlled bond build for long-term hold and serviceability.

Quality Systems

Aigix operates with quality and process controls aligned to automotive and industrial expectations:

  • Quality and environmental systems including ISO 9001 and QC 080000.
  • Automotive quality management aligned with IATF 16949 requirements for material suppliers.
  • Process control methodology consistent with VDA 6.3 assessments for OEM and Tier-1 programs.
  • In-house laboratories and cooperation with independent test institutes.
