3. CHARACTERISTICS

The mixture of the two families of vegetable extracts (pyrogallol and pyrocatechol types) has been specially studied for improving the dispersion of veg tannins, this property allowing better dyeing and homogeneous finishing or glazing.

RETAN GK gives leather a beige colour if it is used alone.

As the leather remains softy without strech, RETAN GK is particularly recommended in production of shoe upper and glazed kid.

 

4. APPLICATIONS

RETAN GK is particularly recommended for glazed kids, burnish cow in association with Gambier extract and all other type of aniline or semi-aniline finished leathers.

RETAN GK can also be used in mixture with Mimosa and Quebracho extracts in order to improve glazability.
