Visitors to the Stahl stand at this year’s Asia Pacific Leather Fair (APLF) will be able to see all the chemical producer's leather finishes for Spring/Summer 2003, together with a selection of finishing products developed with Asian markets in mind.

Natural, soft and luxurious leathers will provide the main theme for the company’s exposure at the show, with clothing and leather goods and automotive and upholstery applications being grouped together in separate colour presentations. Showcased for the first time is a new Stucco filler for damaged surfaces and the company’s first new cationic compact polishing resin for upgrading leathers.

New jet black, high gloss finishing products will also be featured, including two new black water-based lacquer top coats that can be blended to give the required degree of gloss or dullness, plus a new cationic black casein finish.
