BASF SE said that it will present a series of chemical solutions that help tanneries lower their carbon and toxicity footprint, as well as reduce water and energy usage. Highlights include a new line of wet-end solutions for retanning and waterproofing. For the first time, leather made with newly developed products will also be showcased.
“Our solutions help tanners conform to international leather sustainability standards and regulatory requirements as well as to further develop export markets by keeping in line with the latest industry developments,” said Matthias Halusa, vice president, leather chemicals, BASF.
New product highlights:
Relugan DNF is a pure melamine based resin syntan suitable for leathers requiring low or undetectable formaldehyde levels. It distinctively improves fullness with fine and uniform grain due to its low astringency. As a result, leather becomes soft, spongy, pleasant to handle and retains its softness even after long periods of storage. Distinguished by high exhaustion that contributes to a lower effluent load, it is especially recommended for use on automotive leather and leather for children’s shoes, which must comply with stringent limits on their formaldehyde content.
