GREIBOSOL SBH is a high-performance sulphited fatliquor based on a combination of synthetic and natural fatty substances, specifically developed for clothing leather, nappa leather, and very soft furniture leather. In contrast to deeper-penetrating fatliquors, GREIBOSOL SBH is formulated to act primarily in the surface layers of the leather, delivering an exceptionally soft surface feel combined with a pronounced filling effect that gives the leather a full, rounded body.

This surface-oriented action results in a particularly soft and smooth grain with a fuller, more substantial character, making GREIBOSOL SBH the preferred choice for articles where a surface softness and filling effect take priority over a deep, pronounced grip. The even fat distribution achieved within the surface structure ensures consistently level and uniform colourations across the full hide, which is particularly important for light and pastel shades where any unevenness in fat distribution would immediately result in irregular dye uptake.

A notable process advantage of GREIBOSOL SBH is its excellent bath exhaustion performance: the residual fat content in the working liquor after fatliquoring is particularly low, resulting in significantly reduced COD values in the tannery effluent. For specific handle effects, GREIBOSOL SBH can be combined with other anionic fatliquoring agents such as GREIBOSOL SFH.

Please note: GREIBOSOL SBH is not stable in chrome tanning floats and should not be used at this stage of the process.

Key Benefits
