4.1 GLOSSES IN SOLVENT BASE

4.1.1 LUXSOL S-7000

CHARACTERISTICS: Dissolution of nitrocelulose properly formuled in a solvent medium with silicone and wax additives to give a soft and warm touch to leather. Its aspect is of a transparent liquid, lightly yellow, and with the characteristic solvent smell. The gloss obtained is of average-high power and with a quite nice touch.

APPLICATION FIELD: Full-grain and Corrected Box-Calf leather, but also can be appplied on Kid-skin leather with good results. This is a protein finish, that is why it is essential to apply Base Box before Luxsol S-1.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: After thoroughly cleaning leather from glues and other dirts, and after repairing and leveling if necessary, you will apply Luxsol S-1 with a spraying gun with a nozzle opening of 1,5 mm., with a 2-4 atm. pressure and a proper distance to the shoe. The experience tells us the correct distance is from 25 to 35 cm. It is important to have a good application cabin equipped with an extractor fan, water screen and good light. It is convenient to use a protecting mask.

SECURITY: Look up the general security section.

REMARKS: It is convenient to apply a base to leather before gloss application to improve its adherence and ageing.
