Stahl gives training seminar at BSLT
Stahl’s Colours and Tanning Products Division recently gave a three-day training seminar for 18 international students at the
The main aim behind the seminar, run by Jacques Daamen, Senior Sales C & TP Sales Technologist from Stahl Europe and Laurence Irwin, LPP Manager C & TP from Stahl International, was to introduce the students to the latest compact polymer technology from Stahl and to show them the various products within the family and how best to use these in leather processing.
The processes used during the practical demonstrations showed the advantages of using compact polymer family products for simultaneous retanning and softening to achieve improved fastness and other physical properties as well as reducing the environmental impact on tannery effluent. The students were encouraged to develop new leathers for themselves by compiling their own formulations for specific purposes and which could be used in future trials in their own tanneries.
Stahl stated that both the students and the staff at the college were pleased with the results achieved during the seminar which was designed to harmonise with a similar training course provided by Stahl for leather finishing.
