Polyurethane is a thin, transparent liquid that can be sprayed, wiped, or brushed on for application over surfaces. Unlimited layers can be built, one after the other, with no signs of buildup. Water-based polyurethane combines’ high performance with eco-friendliness to contribute to lesser odor and lower VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds). It also dries more quickly than its counterpart, the oil-based polyurethane.
When engineered correctly, the coats of a water-based polyurethane don’t turn yellow. The waterborne polyurethane manufactured and supplied by SIWO US Inc possesses high tensile strength and low-temperature flexibility, along with incredible resistance against mar, water, UV, chemical, abrasion, and impact. Because of its protective characteristics, waterborne polyurethane is mainly deployed for interior applications.
The SiwoPUD waterborne synthetic leather stays high in demand by the textile industry due to its similar characteristics.
The Use of Leather Waterborne Polyurethanes
Polyurethane or PU leather is an affordable alternative for genuine leather as it’s made using thermoplastic polymer; for this reason, PU leather is regarded as ‘vegan’ — its production doesn’t harm animals. Apart from meeting the demands for affordability, the water-based synthetic leather also fits the bill for eco-friendliness. It’s created using split leather, where the manufacturer uses a mix of chemicals to give it the illusion of genuine leather; however, it may smell like plastic in the days to come.
Because water-based synthetic leather is produced by applying a polyurethane coating on top of polyester, it beats the odds of cracking or fading when exposed to UV rays. With regular maintenance of the stain-resistant leather, you may also be able to avoid wear and tear. The manufacturing of PU leather is free of DMF, which is a health hazard for humans as well as the environment.
