Environmental LifeCycle Assessment INSQIN®
A study comparing ecological performance of waterborne and solventborne PU synthetic coated material from raw materials to coated fabric production. Background to this study – we wished to understand better the environmental impact of INSQIN® from Life Cycle point of view. INSQIN® waterborne PU chemicals are supplied and can be processed without organic solvents, and thus enable the elimination of dimethylformamide (DMF) from the manufacturing process of many kinds of PU- coated fabrics The use of such waterborne technology enables:- Elimination of risk of workplace exposure to DMF as organic solvent
- Elimination of pollution risk to air, water, solid waste
- Resource Efficiency – Processed with 95% less water and 50% less energy*
