Versatile, recyclable and hard to tell the difference: TPU has the edge on natural leather
Another decisive advantage of our durable multi-layered synthetic leather is that it can be recycled mechanically, closing the material loop at the end of the consumer use phase. The limitless range of colors, textures and grains make Desmopan® TPU synthetic leather an interesting alternative material choice for parts that otherwise are made of natural leathers.
From shoe uppers in formal and athletic footwear, to the soft touch skin on consumer electronics and or the upholstery on an iPad case, the haptics of our synthetic leather are difficult to distinguish from natural leather. This polyurethane innovation enables manufacturers to support the vegan lifestyle by offering parts with a high-end leather like touch and feel without the environmental impact of an animal-derived material. Our ETPU synthetic leather is another example of putting our circular intelligence to work for you.
