PU-UF05 is a 0,5 mm clear thermoplastic Poly Urethane (TPU) film for applications that need a thin, flexible material with a little more body than ultra-thin foils. Filcoflex B.V. produces this polyether-based film with a high-gloss finish that keeps processes visible and hygienic.
Typical uses include flexible liners, membranes, sleeves and transparent protective layers in food, pharmaceutical and other hygiene-sensitive industries. The smooth, non-porous surface limits product build-up and supports fast cleaning, including CIP procedures.
Key properties at a glance:
The certificates and compliance documents for PU-UF05 are in the “Downloads” section.
PU-UF05 combines low weight with good flexibility, which makes it suitable for many types of process and bulk handling equipment:
ATEX and explosion safety
PU-UF05 has not been tested separately for its electrostatic properties. It is the same Poly Urethane material as PU-UF03, PU-UF1 and PU-UF15; only the thickness differs. The test results of PU-UF03 can therefore be used as a worst-case scenario, and the ATEX restrictions in the table below also apply to PU-UF05.
The full test report and declaration are available on the PU-UF03 material page.

| Airspeed | Minimum Ignition Energy | Maximum length | ATEX zone |
|---|---|---|---|
| < 2 m/s | > 1 mJ | 100mm | 20, 21, 22 |
| > 2 m/s | > 1000 mJ | 100mm | 20, 21, 22 |
Pressure resistance for flexible connectors
The specifications table lists pressure values valid up to 60 °C / 140 °F. Sleeves may expand or contract under these pressures. Integrated reinforcement rings from Filcoflex help the connector keep its cylindrical shape.
For higher pressures, stronger vacuum or longer sleeves, please get in touch.
Weighing applications
PU-UF05 is well suited for weighing and dosing in high-volume, high-weight and high-capacity applications with a required accuracy below 1 kg. Do you need an accuracy below 0,5 kg? Contact Filcoflex to explore weighing flexible connections such as silicone bellows, Poly Urethane bellows, PU-UF03 sleeves or PTFE 310 fabric.
