Kemira Tanfor T™ Tanning process – chrome and aldehyde free, cost effective and for very bright colors
/INS · 4 October 2012The shrinkage temperature reached with Tanfor T is 75° - 85°C. Compared to traditional wet white Tanfor T also offers significant savings in post tanning. Only minor retanning and fat liquoring adjustments are required compared to wet blue. Furthermore, tanning with Tanfor T produces no hazardous waste, and COD values of waste water are lower than the state of the art.
Tanfor T is based on compounds of aluminum and silicon, and organic acids that are perfectly safe for humans and the environment. It offers a perfect dyeability due to the brilliant whiteness of the Wet Bright intermediate and color fastness in time. Due to the mineral character of Tanfor T, there is a high dye affinity, which gives very bright colors in all leather applications.
Tanfor T will be officially launched at the Tanning Tech fair in Bologna, Italy on October 9-11, 2012.
