The highlight will be the new XR-13-906 carbodiimide crosslinker; a solvent-free, water-based product used in finishes for automotive and shoe upper leathers which is free from solvent-type hazards.

Wet end products used in processing some of the leathers on display will include two Salem oils—Salem LCN, an oil used for high resistance to ultra-violet light; and Salem SN-M, an oil that promotes softness and results in very ‘light’ leathers. A retanning and dispersing agent, Synektan SN-M, will also be used to produce some of the leathers.
