Lubrizol Engineered Polymers has designed ESTANE^® thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) resins to solve today’s toughest seating challenges to ensure cleaner air quality in vehicle interiors. By applying TPU in synthetic leather, without any use of solvents, there is a lower volatile organic content in the car and the leather can be recycled*.

For PVC synthetic leather manufacturers, it shows the benefit of improving the mechanical performance of PVC synthetic leather. ESTANE TPU gives vegan leather better enhanced abrasion resistance and crack performance.

Other benefits of the ESTANE solution for synthetic leather include:

Very good abrasion and tear resistance
Soft touch, good haptics
Design flexibility (ease in cut and sew, stretchability)
Good extrudability or calendaring processability
