Leather Finishing Additives®
We offer the specialty leather finishing
additives range to promote specific parameters, properties, and
effect in leather finishing operations.
Our high performance range of leather finishing chemicals is
based on silicone-containing and silicone-free substances and comprises
a broad spectrum of emulsifiers to degrease agents for tanning and for
nitrocellulose, defoamers to prevent macro- or micro- foam during the
production and/or application of water borne finishes, touch and handle
modifiers to change the unpleasant plastic feel to an attractive soft
leather haptic, wetting and dispersing additives for a continuous film
and flow and anti-cratering additives to prevent cratering and pigment
floating and also to give natural appearance in spray application. Our
leather finishing additives can be used in waterborne and solvent borne
formulations for application by roller coaters, spraying or curtain
coaters.
We offer a wide range of leather finishing additives made from
the finest quality raw materials. These leather finishing chemicals
are safe and environment-friendly. We offer these additives at very
