New tanning products at Münzing
German chemical producer Münzing Chemie has launched new additives for the tanning sector.
Syncurol CAL is a new economical, synthetic fatliquor. It has been developed with shoe upper leathers in mind, particularly for the fashion-oriented Italian shoe upper market. It can be applied to nappa, classic upper leathers and leathergoods, imparting tightness and a pleasant and dry touch.
Optimalin MA is a new economical, natural fatliquor for all soft articles. It can be used during all process stages whenever high softness is required and can also be used in combination with Syncurol CAL for shoe nappa. Good results on pigskin and lining leather have also been achieved using this product.
Tafigal 3360 is recommended for all nappa and suede chrome leather types. It offers good softening, filling and emulsifying properties. When used in the fatliquoring of soft shoe upper, furniture, garment and glove leathers, it offers improved softness and a light and warm touch. For suede, it provides a silky lustre without any fatty appearance. Classic upper leather types such as boxcalf and chevreaux can be treated with Tafigal 3360 in exchange for natural egg yolk in the fatliquor mix.
