Reasons |
Solutions |
Inadequate Rub Fastness |
Weak top coats that are too thin and
form no proper films. Also, by binders
that are too soft and have insufficient
water resistance.
|
Avoid top coats with dyes, give proper
time to drying and always use binder
tops which have good physical properties
like Akral RF 403, Akral RF 901, RPU
075, RPU SW 260, RPU 205-C and Resofix
G.
|
Warping |
I t is caused by using finishing floats
which are too hard or applied in very
thick coats not completely dried or
by drying of the finishes at excessive
temperatures.
|
Apply soft binder solution according
to article for leather requirement such
as Akral RF 403, Akral RF 901 and Resofinish
1020.
|
Yellowing |
A destination is made between yellowing
under the influence of heat or an exposure
to light. The light fastness of finishes
depends on the dyes, pigments and binders.
Yellowing due to heat is caused by products,
which are affected by oxidations or
ageing such as fatty substances. Plasticizers
or nitro cellulose lacquers, It is particularly
disturbing on white or pale leather.
|
Careful selection of products, which
have good light fast and heat resistant
properties like Akral RF 403, Akral
RF 901,Resocryl SL and Lustratop Pigments.
|
Creases |
Creases appear on leather, which are
not smoothly fed into processing machines.
Improper piling can also cause creases.
|
Make proper trimming of leather and
improve the slip of finishing film by
adding waxes like SFT F 6004, Prefondal
K/72 and Prefondal AN/1.
|
Migration |
Leather finished with simple brightening
dyes of organic pigments. Staining may
be caused by migration of these dyestuffs
or pigments.
|
Careful selection of products or use
less amount and good quality dyes and
pigments like lacsuper and lustratops.
Apply a barrier top coats' of polyamides
to prevent migration like Alpatop CM
502.
|
Cracking Off |
Use of polymer binders, which are not
cold resistant, very hard pigment finishes
or top coats.
|
Always avoid the hard polymer binders
and use those, which have good flexing
properties like Akral RF 403, Akral
AC 05, RPU 205 C.
