Finishing and current fashion trend

Water-based lacquer

with excellent performances

repico finishing team has recently developed an application system in line with current trends, which enables you to obtain a PATENT effect on buffed sheep-goat skins and cow hides.

This application is meant for footwear and leathergoods leathers.

The look of the final article is very similar to the traditional “PATENT effect” obtained with solvent systems, and enables many combinations of effects guaranteeing excellent technical performances without hardening the natural support.

The following products are required to obtain the PATENT effect on buffed leathers.

SILENE BINDER A/8
MEDIUM-SOFT ACRYLIC IMPREGNATING AGENT FOR BUFFED LEATHERS
SILENE COMPOUND 1
BLEND OF ACRYLIC AND POLYURETHANE RESINS GUARANTEEING VERY GOOD COATING AND HIGH PHYSICAL RESISTANCES
SILENBINDER VER
WATER-BASED POLYURETHANE WITH VERY GOOD CHARACTERISTICS OF BRIGHTNESS, TRANSPARENCE AND PHYSICAL RESISTANCE

The system is simple in application and allows, in line with the current trends, to use many different complementary materials, such as shot pearl powders, (REPERL series) and metal-transfer papers (REMIDA series).
