KAIYUE Sustainable Polyurethane Technology – Waterborne Polyurethane (WBPU)

Waterborne KAIYUE TECH today presented a series of breakthrough technologies from KAIYUE Waterborne Polyurethane (PU) technology and water-based polyurethane dispersions at China Leather Exhibition (ACLE).

These technological developments can further enhance the applicability of waterborne polyurethanes as a sustainable technology in the textile industry.

ACLE will be held at the Shanghai New International Expo Center from August 31st to September 2nd.

About 4 billion square meters of PU coated fabrics are produced globally each year. And PU-coated fabrics produced by China as the manufacturing center of the world account for 90% of the total.

Based on this, the local ecosystem is under tremendous pressure, and the synthetic leather industry is also facing many environmental challenges.
The general manager of Huai’an KAIYUE Technology Development Co., Ltd. said: “We continue to innovate China’s polyurethane resin and improve the sustainability of the industry, so as to develop waterborne polyurethane resin, which uses water instead of organic solvent as a medium to produce waterborne polyurethane synthetic leather. (PU leather), which is what the current brands, consumers and the Chinese government require, especially since the new environmental law was fully implemented in 2015.”
Specifically, Waterborne KAIYUE TECH is helping companies meet the stringent requirements of the market for the performance and effectiveness of waterborne materials, while strictly controlling production costs and ensuring quality while maximizing production flexibility.

To achieve success in these areas, the key is to combine new product development, new application technologies (to launch new production lines), and our commitment to new technology products (waterborne PU) development and continued investment.

KAIYUE’s water-based base technology improves production efficiency and gives materials exceptional softness

The new KAIYUE base technology enables the production of waterborne polyurethanes, which are key intermediates in polyurethane synthetic leather.

This technology focuses on the performance of waterborne materials, especially in terms of softness. This technology is suitable for the production of clothing, bags, shoes and furniture.

New KAIYUE products create new effects and expressive power for waterborne polyurethane
Waterborne KAIYUE TECH: A new textile-coated waterborne PU dispersion, especially suitable for the production of fine lambskin textiles. This effect is very popular, but it has always been a major challenge for waterborne chemistry. Fortunately, KAIYUE Technology has broken this challenge.
Waterborne KAIYUE TECHt: Water-based PU leather with perfect wrinkle and crease resistance. For many applications, such as shoe leather and luggage leather, this is an important performance standard.

KAIYUE Waterborne Products Marks Another Leap in Enhancing Sustainability
The waterborne product line is the first waterborne bio-based polyurethane dispersion for textile coatings, first introduced in 2017.
With a renewable content of up to 65%, KAIYUE TECH can further reduce carbon dioxide emissions and improve the sustainability of waterborne polyurethanes.
