The adoption of NMP-free waterborne polyurethanes is increasing across industrial manufacturing due to stricter environmental regulations and workplace safety standards. N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) has been widely used in polyurethane dispersion processes, but it is now restricted in many regions due to health and exposure concerns. As a result, manufacturers are shifting toward waterborne systems that eliminate […]
