bayer materialscience is launching a series of new grades of pu dispersions

in addition to bio-based grades, bayer materialscience is launching a series of new grades of impranil? series pu dispersions, expanding the scope of application of the insqin technology released last year. at the same time, a complete set of services is also launched to meet the textile industry’s higher requirements for material function and sustainability.

impranil® daa is specially developed as an intermediate coating for the apparel and footwear industries. the product could be used to produce softer materials that retain this property at low temperatures – a dream for clothing.

the performance requirements of materials are particularly stringent in the field of sports shoes. impranil® dle contributes to the development of upper materials that meet the highest technical specifications in the field, particularly in terms of bond strength.

on the other hand, the automotive industry will also benefit from the newly launched impranil® dlc-t product. with this product, it is possible to produce a special automotive interior material that not only has the ultra-matt surface sought by the industry, but also has high resistance to abrasion, hydrolysis, light and heat.

bayer materialscience is successively launching a series of water-based bio-based polyurethane (pu) dispersions under the brand name of impranil? eco-materials. with a renewable content content of up to 65%, the range further reduces co2 emissions and thus improves the sustainability of water-based pu materials again. bayer materialscience is presenting the coatings at eurocoats, nuremberg, germany, april 21-23, and techtextil, frankfurt, germany, may 4-7. 1. research and development results. these products belong to insqin water-based pu textile coating fabric project.

mr. nicholas smith, global general manager of textile coatings at bayer materialscience, said: “sustainability has become one of the most important considerations for consumers to make purchasing decisions, and the textile industry also puts it in the first place. impranil? materials can help manufacturers, oems and brands improve their ecological footprint. the first products in the collection, developed specifically for the apparel, accessories and footwear industries, will help all parties in the industry optimize sustainability.”

manufacturers will be able to produce unprecedented synthetic and coated fabrics with high levels of renewable content in every layer. its performance is comparable to high-end conventional products, and its bio-based raw materials can be used immediately without reformulation. in addition, it is also very important that the sources of these biological raw materials do not conflict with the human food chain.

mr. ni gule said: “we believe that disruptive innovation will increasingly rely on close collaboration with excellent partners, regardless of whether they are upstream or nstream in the value chain. we are very happy about the renewable raw materials of impranil being able to cooperate with a technology-leading company like bioamber, who can supply these important raw materials reliably and in sufficient quantities. on the other hand, we will continue to cooperate with well-known companies nstream in the value chain to maximize the innovation potential of our technology.”
