Profile of LEMONTA Technology (ShangHai) Co., Ltd.

LEMONTA Technology (ShangHai) Co., Ltd. prides itself on its innovative, proprietary water-force microfiber core technology. Jointly established by Huide Science & Technology, Ningbo Hengqide, and Zhejiang Yongxiang, the company specializes in the research, development, and commercialization of truly water-force, solvent-free, low-carbon microfiber leather. Lemonta is committed to redefining next-generation standards for water-force microfiber through green technology and sustainable innovation.

Core Technology & Innovation

Leveraging Hengqide’s patented water-force fiber-splitting technology, Lemonta pioneered a revolutionary process centered on PVA water-soluble sea-island fibers, utilizing a purely water-force physical splitting method. This breakthrough completely eliminates harmful solvents such as toluene, DMF, strong alkalis, formaldehyde, and fluorinated compounds—ensuring inherently safe and environmentally responsible production.

As one of the few companies worldwide capable of mass-producing fixed-island microfiber via water-force splitting, Lemonta has spent over a decade advancing its technological edge. The company holds five invention patents and three utility model patents. Its proprietary balanced spinning technology enables precise control of sea-island fiber ratios and delivers industry-leading fiber uniformity. In addition, its independently developed PVA concentration and drying technology achieves a recovery rate of up to 98%, while workshop VOC levels significantly outperform stringent national standards—achieving an optimal balance of cost efficiency, performance, and sustainability through core innovation.

Integrated Sustainable Value Chain

Lemonta has built a fully integrated, synergistic value chain spanning water-force resins, water-soluble fibers, and water-force microfiber materials. By combining Huide's water-force resin and solvent-free solutions, Ningbo Hengqide’s advanced fiber-splitting processes, and Zhejiang Yongxiang’s 30+ years of application expertise, the company drives sustainable industrial transformation through technology.

Compared to conventional processes, Lemonta’s innovations reduce water consumption per unit product by 83% and carbon footprint by 65%. Wastewater COD levels are reduced to just 50 mg/L—approximately 1/40 of traditional methods. These achievements reflect the company’s commitment to its green philosophy: “Reduce water usage, lighten the burden on our planet.”

Product Portfolio & Applications

Lemonta’s flagship product lines—including WaterOnly™, WaterForce™, UltraFace™, and UltraCover®—cover a wide range of applications, from nonwoven substrates and base fabrics to suede and leather-like materials. These products rival natural leather in both texture and performance, offering a refined tactile experience, superior cleanliness, and enhanced safety and environmental benefits.

They are widely used across industries such as footwear, apparel, home furnishings, automotive interiors, and packaging—bringing innovation at the fiber level to elevate healthier and more sustainable lifestyles.

Vision for the Future

Looking ahead, Lemonta will continue to advance water-force microfiber technology, expand application scenarios, enrich its product portfolio, and deepen industrial collaboration. Through innovation, the company aims to accelerate the green transformation of the synthetic leather industry and deliver safe, sustainable, and high-performance water-force materials to customers worldwide.
