Indofil Penetrator

Whatsapp Order

Indofil Penetrator is a high-efficiency, water-based penetrating agent developed for use in leather finishing systems. It is specifically designed to promote deeper and more uniform penetration of binders, resins, pigments, and auxiliaries into the leather grain structure. This product improves adhesion, levels coating films, enhances the mechanical strength of finish layers, and contributes to a fine, natural break. It is particularly beneficial in season coats and impregnation layers across various leather types including full grain, corrected grain, soft leathers, and garment leather.

Indofil Penetrator

Primary Uses

Leather Finishing

Penetration Aid in Season Coats: Enhances the penetration of season coat binders and pigments, resulting in better substrate adhesion and uniformity across the leather surface.
Impregnation Process: Facilitates deep, even absorption of impregnation chemicals, improving the body and structure of leather while minimizing surface buildup.
Coating Leveler: Helps prevent streaks or unevenness during basecoat application, allowing for smoother finishes and better surface aesthetics.
Fine Break Development: Aids in producing a soft, natural break in the leather surface, giving finished leather a more supple, high-quality appearance.

Secondary Uses

Synthetic Leather & PU Coatings

Used to promote adhesion and improve flow characteristics in the initial coat over PU-based synthetic leathers and coated textiles.

Textile Finishing

Occasionally utilized in technical textile coatings to help resins and finishes penetrate deeper into fabric structure, enhancing durability and appearance.

Porous Surface Treatment

May be applied as a pretreatment on highly absorbent substrates (e.g., suede, nubuck) to improve resin acceptance and finish uniformity.
