Stahl to focus on new product releases at ACLE
09/08/2013
New products for the finishing market will focus primarily on upgrading, “lifestyle” products, and performance topcoat systems.
In upgrading, Stahl has expanded the initial Mirage product offering with a polishable version and will introduce its newest upgrading systems for both nubuck and suede. In the “lifestyle” shoe segment and upholstery, the company says it has responded to increased regional interest in waxes and oils. “A much wider product range will be introduced in Shanghai, which is highlighted by a new waterproof wax, high-performance softening oils, and an industry-leading lanolin blend,” it said in the build-up to the show.
New topcoats will also be released at ACLE for shoe and upholstery leather. Traditional fashion effects such as box, nappa and patent leather will be shown using the latest products. A wide range of new topcoats for upholstery clients will also be available, showcasing the latest haptic and soft-touch formulations.
Stahl’s wet-end division will introduce a number of new developments. The Synektan product range presents new vegetable tannins for retanning of chrome leathers, while the Corilene range adds a new multi-purpose fatliquor and compact polymer.
For the automotive segment, full ranges of car dyes named Coriacide Car and Inoderme Car will be launched. Coriacide is metal-free; Inoderme is metal complex. The beamhouse range Bemanol will be extended with more sustainable solutions for soaking and liming. “They give excellent results in quality and yield and reduce the level of sulfide and nitrogen in the effluent,” Stahl has said. “And the Bemanol range now also presents a concentrated biodegradable non-ionic and nonyl phenol-free detergent for use in all stages of the beamhouse process.”
