Indofil Lp30 is a low-viscosity, thermosetting polyurethane resin specially formulated as a leather finishing binder. Designed for high-performance coatings, it provides excellent film formation, flexibility, and adhesion over leather, textiles, and engineered substrates. Available in solvent-borne, waterborne, or mixed systems, LP30 offers tailored dry time, gloss control, and durability suitable for high-end footwear, upholstery, and garment applications.

Description

Indofil Lp30

Primary Uses

  1. 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.
  1. 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.
  1. 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

  1. 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.
  1. Industrial Protective Coatings
  • Applied in thin PU coatings on metal or composites for industrial machinery interfaces where durability, flexibility, and chemical resistance are needed.
  1. Craft & Prototyping
  • Used by artisans who coat leather or fabric prototypes for functional samples and scaled production tests, benefiting from low viscosity and flexibility.

  1. Safety & Hazard Attributes

GHS Classification

  • Solvent-borne: Flammable liquid, skin/eye irritant, respiratory sensitizer
  • Waterborne: Not classified or minimal hazard

Toxicity

  • Solvent versions: Moderate irritation risk; may cause headaches or dizziness if inhaled
  • Water versions: Low toxicity; non-irritant

Exposure Limits

  • Must comply with VOC regulations and occupational exposure limits (e.g., isocyanates)

 

  1. Storage & Handling Attributes

Storage Conditions

  • Store at 10–30 °C; protect from freezing and direct sunlight
  • Store solvent-based versions in well-ventilated, fire-safe areas

Container Type

  • Sealed pails or drums (metal for solvent, plastic for waterborne)

Shelf Life

  • 6–12 months depending on batch and version
  • Avoid moisture exposure for solvent systems; water forms may separate over time

Handling Precautions

  • Stir or recirculate before use; avoid water contamination in solvent blends
  • Use explosion-proof equipment if handling solvent variants

 

  1. Regulatory & Compliance Attributes
  • VOC Compliance: Formulated to meet regional VOC standards when used in coated leathers/textiles
  • REACH: Components conform to EU environmental safety standards
  • ISO/ASTM Standards: Meets common adhesion and abrasion test protocols for leather and textile coatings

 

  1. Environmental & Health Impact
  • Biodegradability: Waterborne versions largely biodegradable; solvent-borne less so
  • Ecotoxicity: Low when cured; uncured isocyanates may pose environmental hazards
  • Bioaccumulation: Not expected
  • Disposal: Cured waste can be treated as inert; uncured resin and solvents treated as hazardous waste
SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
  1. Safety Handling Precautions

PPE Required

  • Solvent-based: NIOSH-approved respirator, gloves, eye protection, anti-static clothing
  • Water-based: Gloves and goggles advised for process safety

Handling Guidelines

  • Use in fume-hood or spray booth with adequate exhaust
  • Prevent ignition or spark generation with solvent-based variants

Storage Measures

  • Ensure proper grounding and bond lines for solvent containers
  • Keep containers sealed when not in use to prevent moisture or solvent loss

 

  1. First Aid Measures
  • Inhalation: Move to fresh air; seek medical attention if chemical respiratory symptoms occur
  • Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly; solvent versions may dry skin
  • Eye Contact: Rinse eyes for 15 minutes; seek medical aid for persistent irritation
  • Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting; seek immediate medical attention

 

  1. Firefighting Measures
  • Fire Hazards
    • Solvent-based: Highly flammable; vapor may spread far from source
    • Water-based: Not flammable
  • Extinguishing Media
    • Solvent: Foam, COâ‚‚, dry chemical—do not use water jets
    • Water: Water spray or foam acceptable
  • Special Precautions
    • Use SCBA, fire-resistant clothing, and extinguish surrounding fire sources
    • Prevent solvent vapor ignition and ensure container cooling during fire exposure
