Synthetic Materials 

Natural look, refined touch, enduring performance

Surface treatment technologies designed for leather and synthetic materials, enabling refined aesthetics, controlled haptics and durable surface performance. These solutions support formulators in developing high-quality finishing systems where visual appeal, touch and resistance must work together.

Engineered Finishes for Synthetic Surfaces

In a dedicated center of competence where formulation chemistry meets application expertise, advanced solutions are developed for the finishing of synthetic materials

From water-based ready-to-use basecoats and topcoats to a complete range of auxiliaries, these technologies support tailored surface design across automotive, furniture, footwear and leather goods applications.

The portfolio also includes the core building blocks of finishing systems—polyurethane dispersions, polymeric structures and functional additives—engineered to deliver consistent appearance, refined haptics and long-lasting performance on synthetic substrate
