To cater to the leather industry, Pidilite has launched a new range of pigments and speciality products.

Acrofin MD

The Acrofin MD series is a range of casein-free pigment emulsions with a fine particle size, available in 11 colours. The pigments render excellent shade build up with good covering properties and the technological edge makes the entire range free of heavy metals, formaldehyde and APEO. The physical parameters of these pigments meet the stringent demands of leather finishing.

Ultrasoft Resin 501

A new soft, self-cross-linking binder, Ultrasoft Resin 501 is the latest addition to the existing range of speciality resin binders. It is effectively used as a single component for foil adhesion on splits that are eventually tumbled dried, and it can also be used as a main binder for shoe uppers requiring high physical properties. Due to the nature of the film, Ultrasoft Resin 501 can be used not only as a binder but as an adhesion promoter as well.

New generation syntans

Pidilite has also put out a range of syntans that includes:

  • Acrytan 2400: colloidal emulsion, lightfast, excellent dispersion, low-pH application; this product is ideal for nappa and white leathers
  • Acrytan RCF40: an acrylic syntan with a low pH application, this product confers a good body to leather
  • Acrytan MA 40 TR: with a high concentration of acrylic co-polymer for all types of leathers, this product provides
    a good fullness and roundness to leather, maintaining a supple feel.
