Two syntans from Smit & Zoon

Syntan DR 686 has been designed to take care of the belly area in particular. Syntan DR 686 is very suitable for leathers that have to become round and full. Improving the fullness and tightness in the belly area will decrease cutting waste. The second syntan is a replacement syntan, Syntan XF 050.
