Leather Processing
Blown (Oxidized) Herring Oil
Made to your specification, for a wide range of industrial coatings and treatments.
Used in: Caulks, putties, sealants, leather tanning, paints, lacquers, varnishes, alkyds, nitrocellulose, resins, inks, rust-preventative coatings, surfactants, plasticizers
Smithol CDR-G
A domestic replacement for crude degras with a mild, stable waxy odor. Strong polar attraction to metal, and forms invert emulsions much like natural degras.
Used in: Metalworking compounds, industrial lubricants, leather treating
Smithol 22LD
Exceptional metal and fiber wetting. Clings to hot metal, displaces water and breaks emulsions, with a low pour point. Replaces rapeseed oil in drawing, stamping, rolling and forging lubricants.
Used in: Drawing, stamping, rolling, forging and wire drawing lubricants, rust preventatives, de-emulsifiers, stripping oil from waste water, textile spin finishes, leather treating
Smithol 50B3
Good lubricity with a low acid value and a stable cloud point.
Used in: Industrial lubricant additives, metalworking lubricants, cutting oils, greases, leather treatments
Synaceti 116
An alternative to natural spermaceti. A modifier for solvent-based coatings that speeds up surface development in isocyanate, urethane, acrylic and nitrocellulose systems: lower coefficient of friction, better gloss, anti-blocking and faster clarity. Stays malleable in sculptor’s clay.
Used in: Solvent-based coatings and varnishes, sculptor’s clay, cosmetic emollient, drawing compounds, finishing aids, lubricants, leather treatments, glazing
