DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

A siphon protective thermoplastic polyurethane compound material in accordance with the present invention, comprising: an intermediate fabric layer prepared from cotton, nylon, or polyester, a top covering layer of thermoplastic polyurethane film covered on one side, namely, the top side of the intermediate fabric layer, a bottom covering layer of thermoplastic polyurethane film covered on the other side, namely, the bottom side of the intermediate fabric layer, a first bonding layer bonded in between the top side of the intermediate fabric layer and the top covering layer of thermoplastic polyurethane film, and a second bonding layer bonded in between the bottom side of the intermediate fabric layer and the bottom covering layer of thermoplastic polyurethane film. The first bonding layer and the second bonding layer are respectively prepared from alcohols having a total molecular weight below 100000. The molecular weight of the alcohols (R-OH) is below 4000, or preferably within 2000˜3000.

The alcohols for the first bonding layer and the second bonding layer can be polyester, polyether, or polycarbonate. By means of the characteristic of low molecular weight, the first and second bonding layers cause an anchoring effect when applied to the intermediate fabric layer. By means of deep engagement of molecular mechanisms of long chain into fabric, the various layers of the siphon protective thermoplastic polyurethane compound material are interlocked. Therefore, after a siphon protection treatment of the intermediate fabric layer by means of PU, AC or Teflon coating, the first second bonding layers can still be fixedly bonded to the siphon protection treated intermediate fabric layer and the top and bottom covering layer of thermoplastic polyurethane film to fixedly secure the top and bottom covering layer of thermoplastic polyurethane film to the top and bottom sides of the siphon protection treated intermediate fabric layer. Therefore, a siphon protective thermoplastic polyurethane compound material made according to the present invention provides a satisfactory siphon protection effect for a wide range of application.

According to an alternate form of the present invention, a siphon protective thermoplastic polyurethane compound material is comprised of an intermediate fabric layer prepared from cotton, nylon, or polyester, a covering layer of thermoplastic polyurethane film covered on one side of the intermediate fabric layer, and a bonding layer bonded in between the intermediate fabric layer and the covering layer of thermoplastic polyurethane film. The bonding layer is prepared from alcohols having a total molecular weight below 100000. The molecular weight of the alcohols is below 4000, or preferably within 2000˜3000.

Although particular embodiments of the invention have been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims
