Textile & Leather

No two fabrics or leathers are the same.

The quality of a material depends on the raw materials, the processing method and the processing auxiliaries employed. How was the material made and finished?

How can it be both soft and resilient at the same time? Are the colors vibrant and do they stay that way when washed repeatedly? Does the fabric drape well? Is it elastic? Are leather and its artificial counterpart pleasantly supple and water-repellent?

WACKER supplies a range of products to help you to modify a given property to meet demanding customer requirements, e.g. soft hand feel, moisture absorption, hydrophobicity, wearing comfort, flame resistance, dimensional stability, abrasion resistance and permanent wash resistance.

With brands such as ELASTOSIL^®, WETSOFT^®, ADVALON^®, VINNAPAS^® and VINNOL^®, WACKER offers a wide product portfolio that will enhance your products and make your manufacturing processes much simpler and more efficient.
