LEATHER FATLIQUORS

INTRODUCTION: LEATHER FATLIQUORS

Leather fatliquors are chemical formulations used to impart softness, flexibility, fullness, and water resistance to tanned leather. These products penetrate between leather fibers to provide lubricating effects and improve the mechanical properties of leather.

SECTION 1: PRODUCT CLASSIFICATION AND TYPES

Product Type Base Component Key Property Main Application Area
Synthetic Oil Petrochemical derivatives, synthetic esters High stability, non-discoloring, homogeneous penetration All leather types, especially light-colored leathers
Combined Oil Blend of natural and synthetic oils Balanced performance, good emulsion properties Versatile use, general finishing
Sulfited Fish Oil Sulfited fish oil Softness, fullness, good lubrication Garment leather, suede, nubuck
Phosphoric Ester Phosphoric acid esters EP/ES properties, emulsifying, anti-corrosion Industrial leathers, heavy-duty applications
Lecithin-Based Combined Oil Lecithin + natural/synthetic oils Odorless, heat-resistant, superior softness Upholstery leather, footwear, garments
