leather -textile applications

Durable, PFAS-free, and silicone-free coating additives for  artificial and genuine leather

 

 

Formulators strive to achieve a balance between durability, aesthetics, and regulatory compliance.  They seek to enhance abrasion resistance without sacrificing clarity, color, or surface feel. Traditional lubricants may bloom, leach, or negatively affect the overall appearance of a coating.  In addition, environmental concerns are increasing.

Calyshield™ represents Calyxia’s innovative approach to sustainable, high-performance textile coatings.
