A New Solution For Bayer Textile Coating Is Unveiled At Shanghai Leather Exhibition.

2012 China International Leatherwear It was held in Shanghai New International Expo Center in from September 4th to 6th. Bayer Material Technology, the world's leading manufacturer of high-tech materials and innovative solutions, unveiled its latest green solution.

Over the years, Bayer materials technology has been innovating and innovating, with its innovative coating and production technology, constantly leading the technological revolution of the synthetic leather material industry. At the 2012 China International Leather Exhibition, the largest and most authoritative international leather event in China, Bayer Material Technology shows a new and environmentally-friendly water-based synthetic leather product. Bayer Material Technology is guided by the idea of "creating a better life with technology". The products are widely used in clothing, shoes, furniture, toys and other daily contacts, providing practical green solutions for end-users.

Bayer material technology has always been in the forefront of the industry, providing innovative and environmentally friendly solutions to bring people a healthier and better life. At the 2012 China International Leather Exhibition, a series of scientific and technological achievements on Bayer Material Science and technology exhibition show our outstanding contribution in expanding the application of polyurethane in textiles. Mr. Ni Gule, general manager of Bayer Material Technology textile coating business, said: "we also exhibited for the first time in China a revolutionary product jointly developed by Adidas and partner NicolasSmith. This year, all the exhibits are our top R & D crystallization, which can be applied not only to many industries, but also to future sustainable development solutions.

Long term commitment to green solutions

In the past century, Bayer material technology has been implementing the promise of "creating a better life scientifically", and constantly introduced sustainable development solutions to cope with the challenges of environmental degradation. At this year's exhibition, Bayer materials technology has focused on a series of environmentally friendly waterborne polyurethane textile coatings.

RolfIrnich, director of global technology development of Bayer Material Technology textile coating business, explained in detail the difference between waterborne synthetic leather process and traditional production process: "traditional solvent based synthetic leather will produce a large number of organic solvents and hazardous solid wastes in the production process, and the energy consumption will be larger." Bayer material technology adopts the production process of waterborne resin as the raw material for leather making. Waterborne resin, which contains no solvents, is a non-toxic and environmentally friendly product itself. Therefore, cleaner production can be realized in this process. At the same time, the process of water soluble textile coating is simplified and the production process is accelerated, and water consumption and energy consumption are greatly reduced.

Today, China's synthetic leather capacity accounts for more than 90% of the world's polyurethane synthetic leather production capacity. The manufacturers of traditional solvent based synthetic leather also bring huge burden to the local ecosystem. With the great efforts of the Chinese government Investment And support the environmental protection industry, the government will encourage more textile coatings standardized environmental production process. Bayer material technology has always maintained a strong sense of environmental protection and social responsibility. It focuses on developing environmentally friendly and efficient coating solutions, such as polyurethane Waterborne Dispersions, to help China's environmental protection industry with technology.

　　 Leather material with better properties than leather

Waterborne synthetic leather, as durable as traditional leather, has been regarded as an ideal raw material for fashion and manufacturing industries. Bayer materials technology has developed a series of Impranil polyurethane waterborne dispersion coatings on synthetic leather. This innovative solution is not only environmentally friendly, but also has great touch. It has been widely used in the manufacture of clothing, sports shoes, furniture and toys. The "Tango 12" football and adiPURE series sports shoes jointly developed by Bayer materials technology and Adidas are the highlight of the exhibition.

Bayer materials technology has innovatively applied synthetic materials to the official 2012 European Cup "Tango 12", greatly improving the performance of football. The shell of "Tango 12" has 5 layers of polyurethane layer. These polyurethane layers are made of Impranil series products, which effectively guarantee the best contact between the sphere and the players' feet, and achieve the best ball control effect in any weather condition.

AdiPURE series sneakers are another result of close cooperation between Adidas and Bayer materials technology. This series of running shoes and training shoes are flexible and flexible, like second layers of skin wrapped around the feet. These outstanding properties are undoubtedly attributed to the fabric coatings made of Impranil series polyurethane dispersions used in upper material.

In addition, the Impranil screen printing coating is also applied to the high elastic elastic belt of Adidas TECHFIT PowerWeb technology. The compressed sports underwear made of this technology is favored by top athletes such as Lionel Messi, Dwight Howard and Riccardo Kaka.

　　 Building R & D centers in Shanghai

As environmentally friendly products without solvents are popular among consumers, the global fashion and sports brands are paying more and more attention to this kind of raw materials. Asia, especially China's material industry, is gradually changing from using solvent based resin to waterborne resin. Bayer Material Technology believes that the key to market transformation lies in the introduction of new materials and technologies, and then requires a large number of experts, technicians and chemical experts to participate. Therefore, Bayer Material Technology decided to move the global textile headquarters including R & D center from Leverkusen to Shanghai. In order to accommodate the new headquarters, the Shanghai polymer research and Development Center (PRDC) of Bayer materials technology is undertaking the third phase expansion project. The new facility and synthetic research institute will be put into operation in the first quarter of 2013.
