Shanghai, China - BASF launched Haptex(R) 4.0, an innovative polyurethane solution for the production of synthetic leather that is 100% recyclable. Owing to its recyclability, Haptex 4.0 is produced without any waste residue, and hence a more sustainable manufacturing process.
"Haptex 4.0 exemplifies our commitment to innovation and sustainability, and aligns with BASF's commitment to advancing circular economy principles and promoting the use of recyclable materials in various industries. With Haptex 4.0, BASF is setting a new benchmark in enabling the green transformation of our customers with sustainable, high-performance and durable materials," said Silvia Mok, Vice President, Business Management Polyurethanes Systems, Performance Materials Asia Pacific, BASF.
Like the earlier generations, Haptex 4.0 also complies with stringent volatile organic compounds (VOC) standards, as no organic solvents are used in the manufacturing process. This significantly simplifies and speeds up the production process of synthetic leather.
Beyond its environmental benefits, Haptex 4.0 is both affordable and durable, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications. Rigorous testing has demonstrated Haptex 4.0's exceptional resistance to heat, anti-yellowing properties and resilience under autoclave conditions. From footwear and fashion to automotive interiors and furniture, Haptex 4.0 offers exceptional quality and longevity, providing consumers with a reliable and cost-effective alternative to traditional leather without compromising on performance or cost.
The first generation of Haptex was released in 2013 and has been widely adopted by different industries such as automotive, apparrels, footwear and furniture since then.
