In order to actively respond to the goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, vigorously develop green and low-carbon Industry, promoting pollution reduction and carbon reduction is the direction of many chemical manufacturers' efforts. Among them, the research and development of bio-based chemical products is an important way to achieve it.
Currently, in the polyurethane industry, Huntsman has introduced renewable vegetable oil as raw material Wanhua has developed 100% bio-based TPU made from corn stalks and other non-food chain corn, castor, etc., and Landian Bio has also successfully used itBio-based succinic acid made bio-based BDO...
At the beginning of this month, people from Lijiang Zhejiang Jiake New Material Technology Co., Ltd. displayed the newly developed water-based synthetic leather VEGETA®FLORACAFE "slag leather" in 2022 at the 2023 China International Textile Fabrics and Accessories Expo (Shanghai). At the same time, this product also won the title of national green design product.
Different from the previous Budweiser Asia Pacific The barley-based water-based leather jointly launched by Dow, Dow and Vegatex uses beer dregs as raw material, accounting for 30% of the ingredients. "Slag leather" is a combination of coffee grounds and natural polymers, with a bio-based content of up to 95%, and there is no need to add any water, harmful chemicals, and animal-related ingredients during the entire production process, which makes the original processing of petroleum-based The peculiar smell emitted from the PU synthetic leather material no longer exists, realizing the regeneration of resources. In addition to the advantages of environmental protection, "slag leather" benefits from the characteristics of coffee grounds. Compared with ordinary synthetic leather fabrics, the brown clothes made of "slag leather" can absorb odors and have good air permeability. Recognized by international customers, it is also one of the bio-based synthetic leather products with the highest content that can be mass-produced in the global market.
