ROHM AND HAAS INTRODUCES THREE PRODUCTS FOR LEATHER TOPCOAT FINISHES
Rohm and Haas Company has announced three new products for waterborne topcoat finishes applied to leather. All three entries are fruits of the Company's ongoing research program to generate components for high-end automotive applications. HYDRHOLAC CR-15 emulsion is an acrylic dispersion developed as a solvent-free reactive binder for economical high-performance topcoats. Used with a polyisocyanate crosslinker and appropriate modifiers, HYDRHOLAC CR‑15 produces remarkably tough (high-wear) finishes that also exhibit good film formation and block resistance properties. HYDRHOLAC UD1 emulsion is a dull aqueous dispersion of a fully reacted aliphatic polyurethane polymer. Designed as a matting agent, it is typically crosslinked with a polyisocyanate resin to produce films with medium-to-high tensile strength, good flexibility, and outstanding color stability. Binder LS-3492 is a reactive aliphatic polyisocyanate resin that functions as a crosslinking agent to enhance such film properties as toughness, abrasion resistance, and cold crack resistance. It is typically paired with aqueous acrylic and polyurethane dispersions. Further information on HYDRHOLAC CR-15, HYDRHOLAC UD1, and Binder LS-3492 is available from Rohm and Haas Company, 100 Independence Mall West, Philadelphia, PA 19106. For literature, call 1-215-641-7189. Information can also be found at http://www.rohmhaasleather.com on the Internet. With annual sales of approximately $5.7 billion (U.S.), Rohm and Haas is a major manufacturer of specialty chemicals for a variety of applications including leather tanning and finishing. Headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Rohm and Haas employs more than 17,000 in more than 25 countries.
