Sasol Chemicals excels in providing key surfactants for the leather industry, crucial from pre-treatment to post-treatment stages. In the initial phases, Surfactants aid in removing natural impurities from hides, ensuring their readiness for tanning. Their enzymatic surfactants prove particularly effective, preserving hide integrity. During tanning, fatty alcohol ethoxylates facilitate the even distribution of tanning agents, ensuring complete hide transformation. In the finishing phase, these surfactants, combined with fatty alcohols, guarantee the uniform application of dyes and finishes, enhancing leather's aesthetic and protective qualities. Post-treatment surfactants assist in applying waxes and paraffin, giving the leather desirable moisture resistance and texture.
