New lecithin fatliquor from TFL
5 May 2011With Coripol ALF, TFL launches a lecithin based fatliquor featuring enhanced properties. In addition to the good light and heat fastness of this anionic fatliquor, it supports good tensile strength, tear and stitch-tear resistance which is important for many article-types.
The new product is designed for the production of all kinds of soft articles including shoe nappa, garment, furniture leathers and splits. Its high softening power and good gravimetric fogging performance make it especially suitable for the pre-fatliquoring and main-fatliquoring of automotive articles from both chrome-free and chrome tanned stock.
Coripol ALF is based on a combination of enhanced natural and synthetic softening agents. Due to its special formulation, it features a low viscosity for better transportation in road tankers, is easy to handle and emulsify in water and it has good stability to troublesome hard water and the most commonly used electrolytes.
The fatliquor is free of mineral oil and almost completely based on sustainable raw materials. Since it exhausts well, it does not noticeably raise the COD of the tannery wastewater.
