Two new fatliquors have been introduced into the Stahl range for use in producing softer leathers. Both products possess excellent light fastness and resistance to heat yellowing which makes them highly suitable for use on leathers which will be finished in white and pastel shades.
Salem LCN is a highly concentrated lecithin based oil which is suitable for all types of soft leather to give a classic silky touch to the surface. Typical applications include leathers for soft and tight shoe uppers for which Salem LCN has no negative effect on grain break. Salem LCN is also highly recommended for automotive leathers for which its fogging resistance properties are exceptional.
The second product, Corilene VSN, is a blend of sulphonated and sulphated synthetic oils having excellent penetration properties that allow even and thorough lubrication of the fibre structure throughout the cross-section of the leather.
This results in a pleasant soft handle. This, together with its exceptional lightfastness properties, makes Corilene VSN highly recommended for use on leathers for applications such as soft shoes, nappa, furniture and garments, where inner softness and roundness is very important. It is also suitable for leathers where little or no finish will be applied such as nubuck and suede splits.
Netherlands based Stahl is busy as a supplier to the world-wide leather producing industry in which it has long-standing customer relationships dating back to the 1930's. The business manufactures and sells a range of quality dyestuffs, syntans, oils and auxiliaries used in the tanning and dyeing of leather.
