New Trumpler micro emulsion fatliquors

Trumpler have introduced new micro emlsion fatliquors. The demands of today's modern leather manufacture have brought about many changes in fatliquoring technology and thinking. Over the years, Trumpler have pioneered the development of fatliquors which not only provide innovative fields of application but also unrivalled quality and consistency. With these factors in mind, Trumpler have announced the introduction of a unique range of fatliquors based on micro emulsion technology, namely Truposilk fatliquors. Micro emulsion fatliquors are based on extremely finely dispersed lubricant/polymer micelles which facilitate the manufacture of products with a wide range of application and benefits, allowing penetration of the softening components to the individual fibril. The properties of Truposilk fatliquors are: * Outstanding softening effects * Excellent penetration and distribution of the softening components throughout the leather cross-section * Very high fixation and exhaustion from the fatliquoring bath * Low COD values in waste water * Direct addition to the drum * Reduction of expensive emulsifying agents in the fatliquoring process * Based on environmentally-friendly, readily renewable raw materials * Excellent resistance to heat and light yellowing * Low fogging, VOC and fog values * Fatliquoring effect is optimised * Cost effectivity of fatliquoring is enhanced The Truposilk range currently encompasses two products: Truposilk MXF and Truposilk MXP. The first of these, Truposilk MXF is a universally applicable, cost-effective fatliquor, for shoe, clothing and suede leathers. Truposilk MXP is a polymer-based fatliquor designed specifically for upholstery and automobile upholstery leathers, which not only softens, but provides excellent filling and grain tightening properties. Both products have been extensively test marketed in tannery trials with very positive customer response. It is envisaged that in the near future, further expansion to the Truposilk range will be made to include other products.
