Polyurethane Resins

Cytec’s UCECOAT^® polyurethane resins impart critical performance attributes – such as breathability and water resistance – to textiles.

The performance requirements of coated fabrics continue to evolve and Cytec continues to develop new products to meet emerging needs.

l Garment manufacturers are seeking increasingly

    sophisticated weatherproof textiles

l Sport technology demands lightweight technical apparel,

    footwear, tents and sails

l Fashion trends create new needs for leather-like

    materials and skins

l Medical applications require polyurethanes with desired

    moisture vapor transmission rate, durability and skin

    compatibility

In addition, Cytec has developed grades for upholstery, industrial and automotive applications.

Cytec is a global market leader in the field of BREATHE™ technology for waterproof, breathable fabric applications. Our product line of UCECOAT polyurethane resins includes hydrophilic and microporous polyurethanes that can be coated to a variety of textiles, allowing customers to optimize softness, durability, water proofing (from the outside in), and water vapor permeability (from the inside out).
