Bayderm X-tra Finish TV is an NMP-free, medium-hard, aliphatic polyurethane dispersion with good flow-out and high elasticity for glossy top coats. The product has good lightfastness, good resistance to heat yellowing and excellent physical fastness properties, e.g. good wet and dry rub fastness and water drop resistance. Leather finished with Bayderm X-tra Finish TV has a natural appearance, a pleasant feel
and a brilliant gloss.

The silica-free acrylic dispersion Opti-MattTM A-2000 is based on an innovative matting technology. Leather made with this product has good wet rub fastness and flex resistance, a pleasant feel, good depth of color, lightfastness and reduced repolishing properties.

Opti-MattTM UD-4 is a combination of a modern organic dulling agent with a high-performance silica in an aliphatic polyurethane dispersion. It can be used together with polyurethane or acrylic binders and permits the production of very dull finishes. The low tackiness of the film means that the leather can be stacked immediately after spraying. Further ad¬vantages are reduced repolishing properties, a more uniform surface appearance and an extremely pleasant feel.
