Zschimmer & Schwarz to show chrome VI control product at ACLE

01/07/2019
Leather chemicals manufacturer Zschimmer & Schwarz, which is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year, has said it intends to underline its contribution to the Chinese leather market and its customers there at the 2019 All China Leather Exhibition in Shanghai September 3-5.

Among the products it will have on show will be a number of new applications. These will include Contripon RM, which Zschimmer & Schwarz has said minimises the presence of chromium VI in crust or finished leather. It is applied to the flesh side in one or more spray applications. It can also be used in wet-end processes. “It adds further safety to the established measures that prevent the formation of chromium (VI),” the company has said.

Another highlight will be Syncurol HS, designed for the production of soft leathers with high resistance to light and heat. It is especially suitable for making automotive upholstery leather.
