Dry Process PU, technically known as Transfer Coated PU, utilizes advanced release paper technology. The process involves coating PU resin onto textured release paper to form a uniform skin layer. After drying, this layer is bonded to a substrate (woven, knitted, or microfiber) using an adhesive coat. Finally, the paper is stripped away, transferring the exact grain pattern to the surface.
The surface film formed by the dry process is dense and resilient. By adjusting the resin formulation, exceptional hydrolysis resistance, abrasion resistance, and outstanding color fastness can be customized.
Cost-Efficiency & High Cutting Yield
Dry PU offers 100% utilization. For downstream factories, this enables multi-layer automated cutting, significantly boosting production efficiency while reducing material waste costs.
Superior Grain Definition & Consistency
Leveraging release paper technology, dry PU can achieve micron-level replication of genuine leather pores, geometric textures, and even textile patterns. Since the patterns originate from molded paper, the entire roll exhibits exceptional texture consistency with no pinholes or imperfections.
Substrate Versatility
Dry processes offer flexible compatibility with diverse substrates, ranging from economical fleece fabrics to high-strength microfibers and even recycled materials. This enables the same surface design to be paired with different backing fabrics according to application requirements, delivering exceptional engineering flexibility.
