High-solids PU embossing that goes the distance

Introducing new PU high solids systems, with post-embossability

When finishing an artificial leather material for garment, upholstery, shoe or other every day use, post-embossing techniques may provide the final design, look and feel of the article. Whereas such synthetic articles can be produced from different material options, Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is commonly viewed as easy-to-use in industrial embossing processes, but it can contain harmful substances such as chlorine and plasticizers, leading to regulatory and customer demands for an alternative option.

Introducing Stahl's new Permuthane® high-solids polyurethane (PU) resin as a new PVC-free solution that combines the high level performance for many different synthetic leather use, while maintaining excellent embossing performance over time.
