DMF-free PUD for synthetic leather
Enable dry-process synthetic leather with authentic touch, breathability and abrasion performance — aligned with fashion and automotive sustainability goals.
Enable dry-process synthetic leather with authentic touch, breathability and abrasion performance — aligned with fashion and automotive sustainability goals.
As the industry moves away from DMF-based wet processes, our waterborne PU grades support dry-process synthetic leather with genuine-leather tactile experience, water-vapor permeability and superior flex endurance.
Authentic leather-like tactile experience
Breathability and water-vapor transmission
High abrasion and flex resistance
DMF-free, low-VOC formulations
Authentic touch and flex for bags, shoes and apparel components.
Abrasion-resistant, low-VOC finishes for seats and trim panels.
Durable, stain-resistant surfaces with controlled gloss and haptics.
Waterborne PUD layers build touch, breathability and durability on the substrate.
Adhesion layer bonds PUD stack to non-woven or textile backing.
Pigmented or clear layers build opacity, grain simulation and color.
Hard or soft top layers deliver gloss, scratch and stain resistance.
Peel, emboss and QC for abrasion, flex and volatile limits.
Line speed, substrate and brand targets drive grade selection.
