Leather coating, polyurethane

2.4

Description

The data set represents an estimation using energy and water use from existing leather coating processes. Based on literature, 60g PU (based on Polyurethane) dispersion per m2 leather is used as hydrolysis resistant coating material. Polyurethane PU based materials ensure a high resistance to hydrolysis effects (effected by humidity, heat and light).
