10/03/2011
                    The new product, Coripol BZE, is described by TFL as “a sustainable and economical fatliquor with excellent features”. It has good light- and heat-fastness properties of the anionic fatliquor make it suitable for the production of shoe leather with high requirements, the company said.
It is based on a combination of natural raw materials including lanolin. It lubricates the grain and keeps it elastic and, as part of TFL’s MAXI Solution concept, it supports the tanner’s quest for achieving “the best cutting yield with excellent grain tightness and moderate inner softness”, TFL continued. Leather fatliquored with Coripol BZE shows good dyeability and responds well to buffing and burnishing.
The fatliquor can also be used for the production of handbag leathers as well as splits, chrome tanned or chrome-free. In combination with other Coripol products, such as SBL, GF and SLG, it is especially suitable as a fatliquor for all full and semi vegetable tanned articles, the company claimed.
