Product Overview
If you manufacture synthetic leather, you already know what DMF is. If you’re new to this chemical, here’s the short version: dimethylformamide is the primary solvent used in wet-process polyurethane coating – the process that creates the breathable, soft synthetic leather used in footwear, bags, upholstery and automotive interiors.
ISL Chemicals supplies high-purity DMF specifically for the leather and synthetic leather manufacturing sector. Given that Sialkot is Pakistan’s – and one of the world’s leading leather goods manufacturing hubs, this is a product we keep in consistent stock.
The wet coagulation process for synthetic leather requires DMF as both a solvent for the PU resin and as the medium that controls coagulation when the coated substrate is passed through a water bath. The grade and purity of DMF directly affects the cell structure of the coagulated film, which determines the final texture, breathability and feel of the synthetic leather.
ISL Chemicals supplies DMF for leather applications with consistent purity specifications. Our founder’s background in chemical engineering means we understand what variance in DMF purity does to a production batch – and we make sure you don’t have to deal with that problem.
