Innovative and sustainable solution from LANXESS: Lightweight leather made easy

摘要

X-Lite is the name of a new process from the LANXESS specialty chemicals company for producing lighter-weight, yet high-quality leather efficiently. "X-Lite enables tanners to turn even relatively thin grain splits into premium leather with a remarkably low weight per unit area, while still meeting thickness specifications. In particular, it satisfies the key requirements of car and aircraft manufacturers," explains Dr. Marc Hombeck, head of New Business in LANXESS' Leather business unit.
