Functional Materials
Polyurethane resins are resins made up of soft and hard segments, and have excellent elasticity and toughness. By changing the compounding recipe and molding method, they can meet a variety of performance requirements (hydrophilicity, moisture permeability, abrasion resistance, heat resistance, chemical resistance, etc.). It is also possible to impart additional functionality through modification. Taking advantage of these characteristics, they are used in a wide range of fields, including fibers, film primers, paints, adhesives, synthetic leather, artificial leather, and foam cushions.
Water-based polyurethane resin (polyurethane dispersion/PUD)
This environmentally friendly product contributes to low VOCs. With excellent flexibility, conformability, and adhesion, it has a proven track record as a coating agent for synthetic leather, glass fiber sizing agents, and various substrates.
Non-Solvent urethane resins
In addition to the environmentally friendly Reactive Hot Melt (PUR), we offer a wide range of products, including urethane resin for casting used in printer rollers and microcell polyurethane for shoe soles. Polyester Polyol meets the needs of our customers with a wide lineup and distinctive products unique to Japan's top manufacturers.
Solventborne urethane resins
For synthetic and artificial leather, DIC has a lineup of products that meet the required characteristics such as light resistance, abrasion resistance, and flexibility.In addition, DIC is working to develop toluene-free products for environmental protection and to improve the physical properties of synthetic leathers for vehicles that have been increasingly popular in recent years.For use in coatings, they are used in a wide range of fields not only for woodworking and floors but also for anticorrosion paints such as iron bridges and automotive parts because of excellent water resistance, chemical resistance, toughness, etc.
