Leather Chemistry

Silicones are used in the finishing of leather and artificial leather to protection skins and surfaces. The wearing comfort is significantly improved and the materials are protected against all weather conditions.

Organic modified silicones are used as basic products for the formulation of leather auxiliaries.
