TFL launches new touch modifier and waterproof booster
06/03/2009
Specialist chemical company TFL is offering a new anionic silicone emulsion for nappa, garment and upper leathers.
The company says that the new emulsion, DRYWALK SIL, has a dual function. In non-waterproof leathers, it can be used on its own as a post-treatment on split suede and nubuck, or in combination with anionic fatliquors in order to provide an elegant, smooth handle and an improved softness.
In waterproof leathers, TFL says it supports high water resistance and provides consistent Maeser and Bally values, in combination with its DRYWALK waterproofing technology.
DRYWALK SIL is based on a combination of highly concentrated silicone oils with dual-function emulsifiers. The product has self-emulsifying properties and features high levels of light fastness and heat resistance.
The product also enhances the fixation of dyes and fatliquors, thus saving chemical costs, TFL says, improving the shade intensity of suede and nubuck, and giving the leather better water-spot resistance and wicking properties.
