TFL introduce duel touch modifier & waterproof booster

Published:  09 March, 2009

Swiss leather chemical makers, TFL, are offering a new anionic silicone emulsion for nappa, garment and upper leathers with dual function.

In non-waterproof leathers Drywalk SIL can be used alone as a post-treatment on split suede and nubuck or in combination with anionic fatliquors in order to provide an elegant, smooth handle and an improved softness.

For waterproof leathers, in combination with Drywalk FAT, Drywalk WAS-1 or Drywalk IN it supports high water resistance and provides consistent maeser and bally penetrometer values.

Drywalk SIL is based on a unique combination of highly concentrated silicone oils with dual function emulsifiers. The product has self-emulsifying properties and features an excellent lightfastness and heat resistance.

The product also enhances the fixation of dyes and fatliquors, thus saving chemical costs as well as reducing the COD of the spent float. It improves the shade intensity of suede and nubuck, giving the leather better water-spot resistance and wicking properties.
