tanning/retanning additive

Field of application

It is ideally suitable during tanning and retanning to yield soft and full leather.

Properties

• completely pH stable
• contains formaldehyde only in traces
• excellent filling of the loose structure without reducing the resistance of the fibre
• improves respiration and washing fastness by better chrome exhaustion and gives more thermal stability

Application

Ebotan DA 50 FF is added in the pretannage before or after pickling. For a perfect penetration and distribution it is added 5 minutes prior to the dyestuff. It can be used alone or blended with syntans in the retanning.
