Lepton®Enhancer LT: Upgrading with easy to use microcapsules
Lepton®Enhancer LT offers low grade crust upgrading under standard tannery processing conditions. It effectively covers defects and irregularities while yielding the highest standards of print definition and retention. Lepton®Enhancer LT is compatible with most finishing chemicals. The lower application temperature is a means of avoiding unnecessary complications, the leather remains soft and the break is not impaired. Lepton®Enhancer LT does not contain NMP and is free of organic solvents for eco-friendly application.
Astacin® Top LP:For water based patent leather
Astacin®Top LP is the solution from BASF to achieve high gloss, transparency plus an elegant smooth surface on leather. This new water-based auxiliary for leather finishing is recommended for top coats of aqueous finishes and presents the closest alternative to solvent based patent finishing. Astacin®Top LP stands for first-rate leveling characteristics as well as high scratch resistance and good flexing properties. Astacin®Top LP does not contain alkyl-tin compounds and has reduced airborne emissions in comparison to established standards, which makes it more environmentally compatible. It is recommended for all types of leather with a high gloss, especially for water-based patent leather.
Basyntan®: Expansion of the range with formaldehyde free syntans
The new range of formaldehyde free Basyntan® tanning agents offers products for all kinds of leather articles, especially regarding eco-friendly leather for examples formaldehyde reduction. All Basyntan® products are based on sulfon tanning agents and for this reason offer high light fastness and heat resistance. Basyntan® IS and FO are for filling and tightness, Basyntan® AS is for innovative aluminium-sulfon and Basyntan® UR has good lights fastness and heat resistance.
Relugan®: Expansion of the range with soft polymers
Relugan® soft polymers by BASF solve problems for Soft, Full and Tight leather. The range of products offers the right polymer for each parameter. All products are free of formaldehyde, monomers and inorganic salts. The main characteristics include high light-fastness, heat resistance and good compatibility with other products: Relugan® Full ES, the liquid branched polyacrylate copolymer offers a soft, round handle with a fine grain and first-rate dispersing power. Relugan® Soft HF unites the positive characteristics of polymer retanning agents and fat liquors. Relugan® Soft HF is recommended for all types of soft leather requiring a high degree of light, heat, and migration resistance. It is especially suited for leather low in VOC and FOG. In addition to this, Relugan® Soft HF facilitates production of washable leathers and leathers with specific light weight. Relugan® FS gives leather a pleasant handle, fullness, and a smooth tight grain. It shows good results in lightfastness, heat resistance, and resistance to migration. Furthermore Relugan® Tight FR-NF liquid is the right approach for filling and buffing of all kinds of leather articles.
Lugafast® Colorlock system: No problems with color migration
The new reactive dyes for leather present a new fastness profile that prevents the color from fading and migrating. Thus, it is possible to create innovative design solutions as well as new material combinations. Also the application of all Lugafast® reactive dyes is simple and efficient. Lugafast® colors are available as Black AN, Brown BB, Brown BC, Red RR, Yellow GG and Blue.
