Furthermore,it can also be used as anionic component in combination fatliquors.Areas of applicationChemistryPhysical formCharacteristicsFatliquoring of all kinds of fur and leather, primarily in retanningSulphochlorinated long-chain paraffinsBrownish oil• Anionic• Active content approx. 72 %• pH (100 g/l) approx. 8.5• Pumpable at temperatures above 0 °C• Free of natural fats• Contains neither solvent nor APEO• High light fastness and resistance to heatThe above figures are approximate.

Combination fatliquors can be prepared either by weighingtogether the undiluted individual components and then diluting with hotwater or by mixing the separately prepared anionic and cationic emulsions.To increase the surface fatliquoring effect, unsulphonated oils orLipoderm Oil N1 can also be used. With the same quantities of pure fat,combination fatliquors produce somewhat softer leathers than purely anionicfatliquors and have proven to be especially effective for leathers that arevacuum dried.
