LANXESS has added two soft acrylic base coat resins to its range of finishing products. The two waterborne polyacrylate dispersions Primal SB-110 and Primal SB-155 are manufactured by The Dow Chemical Company and marketed by LANXESS AG.
The acrylic emulsion Primal SB-110 is offering very good embossing properties, fastness to heat yellowing and cut-through resistance. It can be used to produce base coats for very soft leathers that are characterized by high wet and dry flex resistance, good print retention, good filling and covering properties.
Primal SB-155 is a soft acrylic base coat binder with optimized embossing properties. The product is particularly suitable for high-covering base coats for embossed leather types. Formulations based on Primal SB-155 have superb plate release and excellent print retention. Base coats formulated with this binder are particularly resistant to cut-through when embossed at high temperatures and pressures, especially on low grade crust leathers. This makes Primal SB-155 an ideal choice for formulating base coats for corrected and full grain crusts, for example upholstery leather.
All leather articles shown by LANXESS at the ILF booth are colored with Euderm pigments and Levaderm dye solutions that are free from heavy metal, NMP and Casein. Regarding the fatliquors that have been used to manufacture the leathers, the company's range of Baykanol Licker is free from APEO (Alkylphenol ethoxylates).
LANXESS is a leading specialty chemicals company with sales of EUR 6.58 billion in 2008 and currently around 14,600 employees in 23 countries. The company is represented at 46 production sites worldwide. The core business of LANXESS is the development, manufacturing and marketing of plastics, rubber, intermediates and specialty chemicals.
