How to avoid water stains on crust leather?
Excessive wettability of leathers and formation of water stains or water marks on the leather are caused by the use of high sulphated or sulpho-chlorinated fatliquoring agents. Excessive content of emulsifying, wetting substances also causes high water absorption and water stains. Careful selection of fatliquoring agents, addition of neutral oils and fatliquors based on wool-grease or partial water-repellent treatment help to reduce the wettability. Cationic fatliquoring also helps to reduce the wettability to some extent.
