New polymer dispersion from Clariant

05/05/2011
Specialty chemicals manufacturer Clariant has said a new high-viscous polymer dispersion with strong filling substances, Melio Aquabase M-90, can help tanners overcome the difficulties caused by using manually applied pre-basecoats to cover defects in hides.

Under difficult climatic conditions it very often becomes hard to apply these pre-basecoats homogeneously and to buff off any surplus, the company said.

It explained that Melio Aquabase M-90 does not dry too soon, so no disturbing particles appear, while the upgrading effect is “excellent”. Fine buffing can also be done without smearing.
