Quick Answer: Danhon Swirl Wave Embossed TPU Leather Material features a dense decorative pattern formed by repeating curved, fingerprint-like wave lines. The photographed sample appears deep navy to blue-black with visible shimmering blue highlights across the embossed surface. The supplied No.01-144 reference set includes solid colors, metallic-looking finishes, stripes, animal-inspired patterns, mesh effects and other decorative surfaces, so the required color and pattern combination should be confirmed through physical sampling.
Material Overview
This TPU material is visually defined by a strong decorative embossed pattern rather than by a conventional leather grain. The close-up image shows repeated groups of fine curved lines arranged into small circular and wave-like formations. Viewed together, these formations create a surface resembling miniature fingerprints, concentric waves or swirling arcs.
The current sample appears predominantly deep navy / blue-black. Light catches portions of the patterned surface and produces small blue and silver-looking highlights, giving the material additional visual depth.
Because the photograph does not reveal the manufacturing route, it would be inappropriate to state that the reflective effect is produced by metallic coating, glitter particles, foil, transfer film or another specific technique. The current product is therefore described by its observable embossed pattern and shimmering visual appearance.
This series belongs to Danhon’s TPU Leather & TPU-Based Materials range.
Swirl Wave Embossed Pattern
The main visual characteristic of this material is a repeating curved-line motif. Fine arcs form fingerprint-like and wave-like groups across the surface, creating a recognizable decorative pattern at close range.
The design is relatively fine in scale and densely repeated. Unlike irregular crepe texture, its surface structure appears deliberately organized. Unlike nubuck-style TPU, the visual depth comes from the embossed motif rather than a directional nap effect.
The shimmering highlights visible under direct light add another visual dimension, but the exact process responsible for this reflection has not been confirmed.
Surface and Color Reference Options
The supplied No.01-144 reference set includes substantially more than conventional color variations. Visible samples include plain colors, shimmering finishes, metallic-looking effects, glitter-style surfaces, animal-inspired designs, stripes, curved-line patterns, camouflage-style motifs, mesh structures, translucent-looking materials, decorative flakes and holographic-looking effects.
For this reason, the set should be treated as a broader material, color and surface reference collection rather than 144 confirmed colors of the same Swirl Wave embossed construction.
Buyers should first select a preferred color or decorative direction and then confirm whether the required color can be supplied or developed with the Swirl Wave embossed pattern through physical sampling.

Typical TPU Material Specifications
The following information is a TPU category reference rather than the confirmed specification of the photographed material.
TPU-based materials can use film, coated, laminated and textile-supported constructions. For many lightweight TPU film, coated or composite directions, approximately 0.3-0.8 mm is a commonly encountered thickness reference. Different constructions may fall outside this range according to the substrate, surface treatment, lamination and finished-product requirements.
| Item | Typical / Standard Reference |
|---|---|
| Material Direction | TPU / TPU-Based Synthetic Material |
| Typical Lightweight Thickness | Approx. 0.3-0.8 mm |
| Standard Width | 54″ / 137 cm |
| Typical Roll Length | Around 50 yards |
| Current Sample Thickness | Not confirmed |
| Final Specification | Project-specific confirmation |
Custom Embossing and Surface Development
For this material direction, pattern development is more important than simply choosing a matte or glossy finish. Buyers can discuss swirl-wave pattern scale, line spacing, embossing depth, motif density, repeating pattern size, base color and overall surface appearance according to the finished product requirements.
Other decorative directions such as fine linear patterns, geometric embossing or custom reference-pattern matching can also be evaluated when required. These represent material development possibilities and are not additional specifications of the current sample.
Backing and Structure Options
The supplied photographs show only the decorative face of the TPU material. Depending on the final construction, common textile directions that may be discussed include polyester fabric, polyester knitted fabric, nylon fabric and woven fabric.
Stretch or spandex backing, high-tenacity nylon, mesh fabric and application-specific laminated textiles can also be evaluated for suitable projects.
The correct backing should be confirmed according to the finished application, processing route and complete TPU structure.
Custom Color and Pattern Matching
Custom development for a decorative TPU material involves both color and pattern. For conventional color matching, buyers should provide a Pantone color reference together with a physical color swatch whenever possible.
When the embossed effect also needs to be reproduced, an actual patterned material reference is recommended because Pantone cannot communicate pattern scale, embossing depth, motif density, shimmer intensity or light-reflection behavior.
No Pantone number or specific reflective finishing process has been inferred from the supplied photographs.
Performance Testing Options
Testing should be selected after the final TPU construction and finished-product application are established. Depending on project requirements, relevant physical testing may include tensile strength, elongation, peel strength, tear strength, flex resistance and abrasion resistance.
Color fastness, yellowing resistance, hydrolysis resistance or cold resistance may also be discussed where relevant to the final construction and application.
These are available testing directions and do not mean that the current photographed material has already passed these tests.
REACH and Project Testing
REACH testing can be arranged according to project and target-market requirements. The applicable test scope should be confirmed according to the final TPU construction, decorative surface, backing, finished application and destination market.
Other chemical or regulatory requirements can also be discussed when required. The current product should not automatically be described as REACH Certified, REACH Compliant, eco-friendly, sustainable or non-toxic without supporting documentation.
TPU Series Positioning
This Swirl Wave Embossed TPU represents a decorative patterned direction that is distinct from Danhon’s earlier fine-textured, smooth-surface, nubuck-effect and micro-crepe TPU series.
| TPU Direction | Main Surface Identity |
|---|---|
| Fine Texture Matte TPU | General fine micro-texture |
| Smooth Surface Satin TPU | Clean smooth surface with satin reflection |
| Micro Nubuck-Effect TPU | Directional nap-like appearance |
| Micro Crepe Texture TPU | Irregular fine micro ridges |
| Swirl Wave Embossed TPU | Repeating decorative fingerprint-like curved-line pattern |
No finished-product application is assigned automatically to this material. Final suitability should be reviewed according to actual thickness, backing, processing method, decorative-surface requirements and required performance.

FAQ
What is the pattern on this TPU leather material?
The current sample shows a repeating embossed pattern made from fine curved lines arranged into small swirl or fingerprint-like formations. Swirl Wave is used to describe the visible pattern rather than a confirmed factory pattern code.
Is the shimmering effect a metallic or glitter coating?
The photographs show blue and silver-looking reflective highlights, but they do not establish how the effect is produced. It should therefore be described as a shimmering or metallic-looking appearance unless the actual finishing process is confirmed.
Can the Swirl Wave pattern be developed in another color?
Color and surface development can be discussed according to project requirements. Buyers should provide a Pantone reference and physical color sample, and preferably a patterned reference if the embossing scale or visual effect also needs to be matched.
Are all No.01-144 samples the same TPU surface?
No such conclusion can be made from the supplied card. The references visibly include multiple patterns, finishes and decorative structures. Buyers should use the card for initial direction and then confirm the required combination of color, finish and Swirl Wave embossing through sampling.
Can Danhon develop other decorative TPU patterns?
Decorative surface development can be discussed according to the buyer’s reference and finished-product requirements. Pattern scale, embossing depth, motif density, color and surface appearance can be reviewed during sample development.
What information is useful when requesting a custom embossed TPU sample?
Send the target pattern or physical reference, color or Pantone number, finished-product application, target thickness if known, backing requirements, estimated yardage and required testing. This provides a clearer basis for reviewing the TPU structure and sample direction.
