Wholesale Anti-Wicking Agent for PU Synthetic Leather

Anti-Wicking Agent for PU Synthetic Leather

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Intro

Anti-wicking agent for PU synthetic leather is developed to stop liquid from wicking up through the leather structure and stitching lines. The chemistry reduces capillary action in PU synthetic leather and coated fiber, which helps prevent water and daily liquids from traveling upward through the material.

It is used in coating and finishing processes for PU synthetic leather, and can be applied to footwear leather, garment leather and furniture leather. The product can be combined with water repellent systems when both surface repellency and internal anti-wicking are required.

For tanneries running multiple PU leather programs, one product can cover several anti-wicking steps, which simplifies stock and reduces changeover time. It is used in outdoor footwear, safety footwear and sports footwear programs.

Typical users include synthetic leather producers, coating plants, footwear material suppliers and brands that specify anti-wicking performance. TDS, samples and technical support are available on request.
