More durable materials, recycling ability and efficient processing are needed to reduce environmental footprint of the textile industry. Kisuma materials are uniquely suitable to rise to the challenge by improving the properties of materials such as fibers and artificial leather.
Key features
Supporting the production of robust and reliable textile products
Imparting properties to plastics enabling replacement of environmentally challenged materials
Improved fiber processibility and final properties such as aesthetics
PVC stabilizers are important components in the development of artificial leather. The base textile is infused with PVC plastisol to improve the performance of the end product – this allows the products to be used in outdoor applications due to their enhanced weathering performance.
