In the fashion world, the aesthetics of controlled wear and tear have become a veritable style language. From washed-out denim garments to “worn-out” looking leathers, the appeal of authentic wear and tear is winning over stylists and designers. To best interpret this trend, ICAP Leather Chem has developed ICACRIL M306.F, a hard-film acrylic resin perfect for creating aged, cracked and worn vintage-looking items.
The heart of the matter: rigidity and breaking strength
ICACRIL M306.F is designed to provide a stiff film, ideal for leathers intended for aggressive milling treatments, where controlled cracking, crazing (cracked) or distressed effects are desired. This type of finishing enhances the naturalness of the substrate and generates a worn, authentic and dynamic look.
With its high dry residue (40 percent) and basic pH (9), the resin ensures:
- High mechanical strength
- Excellent adhesion to the skin
- Stable behavior to vigorous milling
- Ideal base for subsequent breaking, antiquing or polishing work
Where does it apply?
ICACRIL M306.F is perfect for:
- Footwear and sneakers with a used style
- Cracked or ruined leather goods with charm
- Vintage and urban leather clothing
- Leather accessories and finishes for industrial or retro furniture
