Ananas Anam required the development of a new coated textile material derived from PALF, suitable for apparel, automotive upholstery, and technical gear, defining both the textile substrate and the coating process to ensure stability, quality, and functional performance across sectors.

The textile substrate was defined and early prototypes were supervised, alongside the research and selection of a bio-based polyurethane (PU) from commercial candidates. A specific coating process was subsequently established, including the identification of an external supplier and supervision of manufacturing trials, physicochemical testing, scaling trials, and quality-control procedures. This work enabled completion of a validated Technical Data Sheet (TDS).

The project yielded a new PALF-based material coated with bio-based PU, opening commercial opportunities in emerging markets. An optimized manufacturing process was developed with an external provider, and the material achieved positioning and homologation in three industrial applications: automotive seating, apparel, and backpacks.
