The Use of Water-Based Polyurethane for the Textile Industry
Waterborne polyurethane is a versatile compound that allows industries to replace the solvent-based solution with a less toxic liquid. The substance is widely deployed in the commercial sector as an environmentally friendly yet efficient product that adds value to the subject. One such application of water-based polyurethane is for textile as it eliminates redundancies in the process to significantly improve the quality of fabric produced. Moreover, it results in a heat-resisting product. It’s a highly elastic adhesive that makes the fabric supple while guaranteeing durability and supreme quality. Here are some features unique to the waterborne polyurethane produced at SIWO US Inc:
Anti-Wrinkle
A waterborne polyurethane smooths out the fabric surface to prevent wrinkling. Because fabrics are subject to deformation with prolonged use, it’s important to cover them with a water-based polyurethane that makes the fibers in the fabric more tensile and elastic. Moreover, it acts as a good enough replacement for urea formaldehyde, as it’s inherently free of formaldehyde.
Anti-Felting
Woolen fabrics are subject to felting after washing. As a result, the appeal and quality of the fabric are not dampened. Back in the day, the textile industry used a chlorine treatment to counteract felting, but fabric manufacturers soon rejected it as its application was complicated, environmentally hazardous, and damaged woolen fibers. Waterborne polyurethane soon replaced this product with a solution that not only made the fabric feel smoother but also guaranteed no shrinkage. With friction eliminated from scratch, the life of the woolen fabric would automatically extend much farther.
