Leather segment represents an important industrial activity, as it is directly or indirectly related to the automotive, furniture and clothing industries. Application of silicone-based products for finishing leather promotes different effects, such as softness, abrasion resistance, water repellency and a distinctive touch, facilitating the application of finishes and promoting differentiation to the final product. In addition to the wide use of silicones in natural leather finishing, these can also be used as additives in the formulation of synthetic leather, making them softer and more breathable, promoting shine and offering comfort and application possibilities in different markets. Athon has a portfolio of differentiated products for this market, offering solutions and services for formulators of products for finishing leather and synthetic leather.
