DMF-free leather finishing

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

Leather

Synthetic leather segments

Fashion & footwear

Authentic touch and flex for bags, shoes and apparel components.

Automotive interiors

Abrasion-resistant, low-VOC finishes for seats and trim panels.

Furniture upholstery

Durable, stain-resistant surfaces with controlled gloss and haptics.

Process

Dry-process finishing steps

Waterborne PUD layers build touch, breathability and durability on the substrate.

Step 01

Base coat

Adhesion layer bonds PUD stack to non-woven or textile backing.

Step 02

Middle & color

Pigmented or clear layers build opacity, grain simulation and color.

Step 03

Top coat

Hard or soft top layers deliver gloss, scratch and stain resistance.

Step 04

Release & test

Peel, emboss and QC for abrasion, flex and volatile limits.

Grade selection

Matching resin to your line

Line speed, substrate and brand targets drive grade selection.
