Flow & Leveling Agents:
Most important function in leather finishing is levelling,
evennes and adhesion. It is important to reduce surface tension to
improve penetration, Flwo and levelling is a surface control additive
to increase levellign in solvent and water based coating.

Emulsifiers:
Emulsifiers are key to success in making stable emulsions.
Particularly, nitrocellulose sealers are important as leather finishes.
Although, their solvent content is less yet their wet rub is poor
therefore use of emulsifiers whose wet rub is good is important in
leather finishing.
LEATHAUXTM K-7600 series
are highly suitable for emulsifying nitrocellulose solutions in water.

In-can Preservatives:
Leather finishing is carried out in aqueous phase with lot of
ingredients susceptible to microbial spoilage by a host of bacteria
such as pseudomonas and fungli grow in leather finishing formulations
and use of preservatives which are ecofriendly, are essentials for
quality leathers.
