Polyurethane chemistry, perfected for a waterborne world

For over a decade, YotoChem has focused on one thing: making waterborne polyurethane perform as well as — or better than — the solvent-borne systems it replaces.

Our story

Founded in China's high-tech materials hub of Hefei, Anhui, YotoChem was established by a team of polymer chemists with a simple conviction: the future of coatings, adhesives and textiles is waterborne. While many suppliers chase breadth, we chose depth — concentrating our expertise on polyurethane dispersions and the rheology additives that make them work.

Today we serve formulators across more than 10 countries, from footwear brands and leather makers to industrial coating houses and ink manufacturers. Every batch we ship reflects our commitment to consistency, transparency and genuine technical partnership.
