The right raw material solution for functional and durable textile coatings
The most popular applications for textile coatings
Artificial Leather
When it comes to luxury interior design there is no better material than leather. Is there anything that equals its comfort, appearance, haptics and durability? Artificial leather based on polyurethanes of the Impranil® High Solids range and/or Impranil® dispersions come very close to the optics and haptical nature of leather, but offer even better characteristics in terms of longevity and resistance compared to real leather.
Upholstery The production of furniture upholstery requires raw materials which meet high standards of comfort, esthetics and durability in order to withstand the effects of intensive use year after year. Impranil® and Impraperm® based textile coatings satisfy the highest requirements and leave maximum freedom of design. These polyurethanes are offered as dispersions, solutions, high solids and granules.
Footwear For the "Green Shoe Concept" we developed a shoe based on evironmentally friendly raw materials like Impranil® that can be formulated without the use of any organic solvents. Some of these raw materials originate from renewable resources already.
Sports Athletes are very demanding when it comes to their equipment and sportswear. Fabrics treated with Impraperm® offer good protection from wind and weather but transfer humidity away from the body very quickly. In addition, they show excellent durability and good appearance of the finished product even after being laundered many times.
To a large degree achievements in sports depend on good equipment. It might be an athletic shoe that goes the extra mile while staying light and comfortable, a soccer ball that is extremely “round” and hardly picks up any water – that is, it always has the same weight – all these features are critical contributions that often make the difference between success and defeat.
Fashion - Nothing is as stable as change When buying fashion products like shoes, jackets or bags consumers appreciate appearance, convenience and durability in the first place. The raw materials for these fashion items are usually not that important to them. But they are with them: polyurethane raw materials like Impranil® and Impraperm® are key to quality, function and appearance while keeping maximum freedom of design. Give your fashion articles a special something!
Protective Clothing In many cases the safety of protective clothing is of vital importance. Think of the clothing of fire men, the protective clothing of the personnel in medical laboratories, or any situation, where technical requirements necessitate special clothing. The development of polyurethane systems for special applications requires extensive expertise and good knowledge of the particular requirements.
Conveyor belt and Transmission belts
A high solid content, flexibility and good resistance to abrasion and various chemical substances are certainly the main requirements for coatings on conveyor belts and transmission belts. Our polyurethane dispersions like Impranil® DLU or our raw materials of the Impranil® HS range fullfill these requirements in an excellent manner.
