Stahl to present 80 leathers at Anpic
A collection of approximately 80 retanned and finished leathers will be promoted by Netherlands-based leather chemical company Stahl at ANPIC, which will be held in
The highlight will be the new XR-13-906 carbodiimide crosslinker; a solvent-free, water-based product used in finishes for automotive and shoe upper leathers which is free from solvent-type hazards.
Wet end products used in processing some of the leathers on display will include two Salem oils—Salem LCN, an oil used for high resistance to ultra-violet light; and Salem SN-M, an oil that promotes softness and results in very ‘light’ leathers. A retanning and dispersing agent, Synektan SN-M, will also be used to produce some of the leathers.
Finishing products will include FI-1895, a wax used to create burnished effects; FI-21-1909, a filling agent for improving selection upgrading; MA-13-605, a resin for improving adhesion; and PT-6591, a penetrator that helps application on difficult leathers.
These products will be used to create a display including classics such as soft nappas, floaters, patent, metallised and printed effects. A selection of bags, belts, shoes and furniture will be used to demonstrate how the leathers look as finished products.
