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)
What are waterborne polyurethane resins?
Waterborne polyurethane resins, also known as polyurethane dispersions (PUDs), are polyurethane resins dispersed in water.
They can be formulated with reduced use of organic solvents and are used in a wide range of applications, including coatings, synthetic leather, and fiber treatment.
Non-Solvent Polyurethane Resins
What are non-solvent polyurethane resins?
For the purposes of this page, “Non-solvent polyurethane resins” refers to polyurethane resin systems formulated without intentionally added organic solvents. They are designed to be applied, processed, or cured without adding organic solvents under specified processing conditions.
Depending on the application and processing method, these systems include reactive polyurethane hot-melt adhesives (PUR), castable polyurethane resin systems, and microcellular polyurethane systems.
Trace quantities of organic substances may be present as impurities originating from raw materials or manufacturing processes.
Please refer to the technical data sheet for the specifications of each grade.
Solvent-Based Polyurethane Resins
What are solvent-based polyurethane resins?
Solvent-based polyurethane resins are polyurethane resins dissolved in organic solvents. Their flexibility, durability, adhesion, and other performance properties make them suitable for a wide range of applications, including synthetic and artificial leather and various coatings.
