New Aqualen topcoat system from Clariant

16/03/2010


Leather chemicals supplier Clariant has launched a new Aqualen topcoat system that it says will meet the demands of shoe and leather upholstery manufacturers for “high aesthetic qualities and pleasant feel with durability”.

Specially designed for soft and super-soft upholstery leathers, the new aqueous system is based on the dull component Aqualen Top DC-2050.B and its glossy counterpart Aqualen Top GC-2051.A.

Both products can be mixed in any ratio for the desired level of gloss or dullness. No additives other than water and cross-linker are needed. This allows customers to limit the number of products in their formulations and guarantees reproducibility in production, Clariant said on announcing the development.

“End users seek leathers that look good and feel good, but do not want to compromise on durability. In meeting this need, our new Aqualen topcoat system successfully combines the emotional with the physical,” said Hartmut Huber, technical manager, finishing, for Clariant Leather Services.
