Netherlands-based chemical company Smit & Zoon has introduced Synthol UF 737, a new single-fatliquor which is said to simplify processes in the tannery.

Whereas conventional fatliquoring is often based on three or four fatliquors, Synthol UF 737 can be used alone, which makes mixing different products and emulsifying behaviour less critical. This, in turn, simplifies the tanning process and is said to lead to fewer mistakes. Furthermore, by using one single product, logistics and handling on the factory floor are also simplified.
