Fatliquor FAQ
How does Fatliquor improve leather quality?
Fatliquor works by penetrating leather fibers and forming a protective layer that prevents fiber-to-fiber adhesion during drying. This maintains the leather's natural flexibility while preventing brittleness. It also helps maintain the leather's natural oils, resulting in better tear strength, improved elongation properties, and enhanced overall durability. The special formulation ensures even distribution throughout the leather structure.
What makes your Fatliquor different from competitors?
Our Fatliquor stands out due to its advanced emulsion stability, superior penetration characteristics, and consistent performance. We use premium raw materials and rigorous quality control to ensure each batch meets exacting standards. The formulation is designed to prevent spew (migration to surface) and provides excellent heat resistance, making it ideal for leathers that undergo high-temperature processing.

Fatliquor FAQ
What should I do if Fatliquor appears separated in the container?
Some separation is normal during storage. Simply mix thoroughly before use to restore uniform consistency. If the product has been stored for extended periods in extreme temperatures, warm to 30-40°C and mix well. The performance will not be affected if properly remixed. Never use mechanical devices that might introduce air into the product as this could affect its performance.
Can Fatliquor be used in combination with other leather chemicals?
Yes, our Fatliquor is compatible with most retanning agents, dyes, and other leather auxiliaries. For best results, we recommend adding it after most retanning materials but before dyeing. Always conduct small-scale tests when combining with new chemical systems. Avoid mixing with strongly cationic products as this might affect emulsion stability.
