Always guided by innovation, ATC unveils two new crosslinkers developed using its Greentech technology: ACTYCROSS CD 3 and ACTYCROSS PI 5.
Meeting the highest standards of the leather industry, these two products combine strength, stability, ease of integration, and reduced environmental impact, while preserving the elasticity and natural feel of leather.
Both crosslinkers improve resistance to water, sweat, and friction, providing long-lasting protection for leather even under conditions of intensive use.
They therefore meet the needs of formulators looking for high-performance solutions that do not compromise the final quality of the leather.
ACTYCROSS CD 3: high stability and responsible formulation
- Easy to incorporate: its excellent dispersibility ensures uniform application in your formulations.
- Improved stability: its long pot life facilitates handling, even in complex production conditions.
- Powerful yet gentle: it provides effective protection against water, perspiration, and friction, while preserving the natural elasticity and feel of the leather.
- Responsible formula: VOC-free and highly alkali-resistant, Actycross CD 3 promotes a more sustainable process.
ACTYCROSS PI 5: speed, efficiency, and high abrasion resistance
Ultra-fast cross-linking: thanks to its polyisocyanate base, it accelerates the cross-linking of aqueous polymers for optimal durability in record time.
Very low VOC content: ultra-low emission formulation, compliant with the most stringent standards and non-toxic for your processes.
Exceptional mechanical resistance: superior protection against abrasion and scratches, ideal for leathers subjected to demanding conditions.
Easy dispersion: transparent product, easy to dilute in fresh water, with controlled viscosity (2500–4900 Cp) ensuring smooth and uniform application.
A Greentech breakthrough for more sustainable leather chemistry
With ACTYCROSS CD 3 and ACTYCROSS PI 5, ATC reaffirms its ambition: to offer effective, responsible solutions that are compatible with the current challenges facing the industry.
These new crosslinkers enable the adoption of greener, safer, and equally effective chemistry, while retaining the essential properties of leather.
