This causes the elastic, liquid-gas-filled microcapsules to expand to up to 40 times their original size and selectively fill the loosely structured fibers and open vein channels in the collagen, thereby making the leather considerably firmer and giving it a more uniform structure. The Leather business unit will be demonstrating this technology on the fair stand.
In the field of finishing, LANXESS's X-Grade system offers users innovative ways of concealing small to medium-sized hide defects perfectly. Flaws such as pinholes and cuts are eliminated with astounding success, resulting in a much higher cutting yield. In addition, the new technology, which is based on microcapsules, gives a considerably more uniform embossing pattern, which leads to a very natural-looking surface structure.
The filling effect of the X-Grade system is brought about by the expansion of specially licensed microcapsules, which means it is essential to set the correct temperature when plating or embossing the finish. Finishes with Euderm X-Grade MP are ideal both for full-grain upholstery, bag and shoe upper leathers and for splits.
Euderm X-Grade FGS is a highly versatile finishing auxiliary based on pre-expanded microcapsules for upgrading a wide range of full grain and corrected grain leathers. Euderm X-Grade FGS is mainly applied as a preground in the reverse coating process.
Detailed information on the extensive product portfolio can be found on the Internet at www.lanxessleather.com. The Leather business unit is part of LANXESS's Performance Chemicals segment, which posted sales of EUR 1,970 million in fiscal 2007.
