NEWAX KB is a slightly cationic emulsion of soft waxes, developed to enhance the aesthetic appearance and tactile characteristics of leather finishes. Thanks to its versatility, it is used in numerous products for footwear, apparel, and leather goods, where it helps create natural-looking surfaces that are pleasant to the touch and visually balanced.
Waxes are one of the key components in modern finishing formulations, as they allow for the adjustment of coverage, texture, gloss level, and the natural appearance of the finished product. In this context, NEWAX KB stands out for its ability to give leather a soft, silky feel, accompanied by a natural sheen that enhances the material without creating artificial or overly film-forming effects.
Thanks to its surface-sealing properties, the product helps even out the substrate, improving the final appearance of the finish. This characteristic makes it particularly suitable for plate finishing , roller finishing, or satin finishing, where it helps achieve more compact and uniform surfaces.
NEWAX KB can be used both as a formulation component in resin-based finishes and as a hand modifier, allowing the tactile feel of the leather to be customized according to the final product. For this reason, it is frequently used in the production of high-quality apparel and leather goods, where comfort and a pleasant feel are key distinguishing features.
