Clariant put a gloss on it

Patent leather is always in the fashion focus of shoe designers and manufacturers - sometimes more, sometimes less - but is always in demand. Therefore a great deal of effort has been put into the development of an aqueous alternative for the purely solvent-based patent top coats of the past. Clariant’s Melio 09-T-42 provides tangible benefits over other products currently available.
