Ope wax for leather processing

Oxidized polyethylene wax serves as a key component in finishing agents,
performing the following functions:
Providing excellent gloss
Mechanism: During leather smoothing or embossing, wax particles within the
wax emulsion melt under heat, forming an extremely thin, continuous
transparent wax film on the leather surface. This film reflects light like a
mirror, producing gloss effects ranging from natural to high sheen (depending
on dosage and process).
Effect: Enhances the leather's appearance, imparting a brighter, more
luxurious look.
Improves Handfeel
Mechanism: The wax film inherently possesses smooth and moisturising
properties. It reduces the friction coefficient on the leather surface,
resulting in a smoother, finer, and silkier tactile sensation.
Effect: Significantly enhances the leather's sensory quality, making it a
crucial adjuvant in producing premium leather goods such as automotive
upholstery, high-end furniture leather, and apparel leather.
