Silicone Dispersion 283
283 silicone dispersion is an aqueous, high solids silicone emulsion designed as an auxiliary for leather finishing. It is generally accepted within the complete spectrum of finishing systems including furniture, shoe, and garment. 283 silicone dispersion confers a distinct combination of a smooth, drag-free feel with a significant increase in wear resistance while addition to undercoats will help bolster wear properties without impairing flow-out or inter-coat adhesion.
