Indofil Lp30
Primary Uses
- Leather Coatings
- Durable Topcoat Binder: Serves as the polymer base in PU leather coatings to provide abrasion resistance, flexibility, and durability on shoe uppers, bags, and apparel.
- Adhesion Promoter: Enhances bond strength between leather and layered finishes (e.g., lacquers, pigments, embossing agents).
- Gloss/Sheen Tuner: Used to formulate coatings with varying finish levels—from matte to high gloss—depending on additive load and process.
- Textile Finishing
- Fabric Coatings: Applies PU films on textiles for waterproofing, hand feel, and surface enhancement, often seen in premium rainwear and upholstery fabrics.
- Soft & Stretch Coatings: Delivers flexible, soft-hand coatings that maintain drapability and resistance to flex-cracking in stretch textiles.
- Synthetic Substrate Finishing
- Engineered Leather and Synthetic Skins: Ensures a consistent binder film for printed or coated synthetic leathers used in automotive interiors, furniture, or fashion accessories.
- Non-woven Binder: Functions as a bonding matrix in non-woven coated textile composites, enhancing fiber cohesion and structural integrity.
Secondary Uses
- Wood and Furniture Coats
- Acts as a flexible, yet durable, resin coat for decorative wood veneers or MDF panels in furniture, offering scratch resistance and minimal UV yellowing.
- Industrial Protective Coatings
- Applied in thin PU coatings on metal or composites for industrial machinery interfaces where durability, flexibility, and chemical resistance are needed.
- Craft & Prototyping
- Used by artisans who coat leather or fabric prototypes for functional samples and scaled production tests, benefiting from low viscosity and flexibility.
