3. CHARACTERISTICS

 

ECODYES are recommended on chrome leather for through-dyeing. They allow a very net decrease in production costs. Their low molecular weight gives them  excellent penetration in direct dyeing, which can be activated with the use of our dispersing agent, SYNTEX AP.

 

ECODYE GREEN penetrates and takes up well on chrome leather, either slightly or strongly vegetable retanned.

 

It produces a green shade of good levelling.

 

It can be used either as shading agent or in mixture with all other acid dyes.

 

As all vegetable dyes, ECODYE GREEN could be mordanted by any metallic salt.

- Upper leathers, buffed and pigmented finished or semi-aniline
