One chemistry, countless end uses

Waterborne polyurethane is the performance backbone behind products you touch every day. Explore how YotoChem grades solve real formulation challenges across industries.

Textile

Textile coating & printing

From fashion fabrics to technical textiles, our soft PUD binders deliver the combination of hand-feel, wash durability and print clarity that textile mills demand. Grades are tuned for knife-over-roll coating, rotary-screen printing and digital inkjet ink binders.

Soft, supple hand with no stiffening
Wash & dry-clean resistance
Excellent pigment binding for printing

Leather

Synthetic leather & finishing

As the industry shifts away from DMF-based wet processes, our waterborne PU resins enable dry-process synthetic leather with genuine-leather touch, breathability and abrasion performance — meeting the sustainability commitments of leading fashion and automotive brands.

Genuine-leather tactile experience
Water-vapor permeability (breathability)
Superior abrasion & flex endurance

Adhesive

Bonding, lamination & footwear

Our heat-activated PUD adhesives provide the high green strength and durable bond that footwear, automotive interiors and flexible packaging require. They bond tenaciously to TPU, PVC, rubber, leather and textiles while eliminating solvent exposure on the assembly line.

Strong adhesion to difficult substrates
Low activation temperature
Solvent-free, worker-safe application

Coating

Protective & decorative coatings

For wood furniture, plastic parts and metal protection, our hard PUD dispersions combine scratch and stain resistance with the clarity and weatherability that premium finishes demand — outperforming conventional acrylics in toughness.

High pencil hardness & scratch resistance
Excellent blocking resistance
Chemical & stain resistance

Ink

Waterborne inks & packaging

As food-packaging and regulatory standards tighten, waterborne inks are replacing solvent systems in gravure and flexo printing. Our binders offer outstanding pigment wetting, transfer and adhesion — plus fast drying for high-speed lines.

Excellent pigment dispersion & color strength
Strong adhesion to films & papers
Low odor for packaging applications

Industrial

Glass fiber sizing & composites

In glass-fiber manufacturing, the sizing agent defines strand integrity and the fiber-resin interface in composites. Our YT-FB film-formers ensure consistent strand handling and enhance the mechanical performance of the finished composite.

Compatible with silane coupling agents
Improves composite tensile & impact strength
Stable sizing bath performance
