BASF’s new organic solvent-free PU solution enhances car seat covers

Source：Adsale Plastics Network Date ：2020-06-10 Editor ：JK

NIO, a leading Chinese new energy vehicle company, has upgraded its ES6 model with enhanced seat covers made of BASF’s Haptex material, the first polyurethane (PU) solution made without the use of organic solvents. It helps reduce volatile organic compounds (VOC) and thus odors, thereby improving the interior air quality of cars.

“Our passengers will enjoy their journey even more in the upgraded ES6 model with Haptex, owing to the assured interior air quality and the material’s superior appearance and texture,” said Kris Tomasson, Vice President of Design at NIO.

Synthetic leather by Greentech coated with BASF’s Haptex solution made without organic solvents meets stringent VOC standards.

“Unlike conventional coated fabrics, Haptex significantly simplifies and speeds up the production process of synthetic leather as organic solvents are no longer needed,” said Hongbo Li, General Manager, Greentech.

Haptex features good mechanical properties, such as peeling strength, durability, abrasion resistance, and hydrolysis resistance, even at temperatures as low as -30°C.

“The use of Haptex in NIO’s ES6 premium model is the result of a close collaboration between our customers and partners,” said Desmond Long, Vice President, Business Management Transportation, Performance Materials Asia Pacific, BASF.
