Metallic foil (Split leather +

foil/patent leather)

Finish Film:

Elevated poromeric / porosity in nature!!To the reason it

has tendency and very prone to getting water
marks/water stains.

*Leather: grain off /grain removed and coated with

polymeric material, to the reason difficult to
evaluate the stretchiness of material. On safe
hand, cutting direction of components along /
parallel to back bone direction! Except centre
spine advisable to perpendicular direction of back
bone

Finish film has maximum porosity!! Ultimately

breathability would be there, to the same will absorb and
hold moisture.
Cleaning will be very difficult, don’t use chemical/solvent
or spot remover on this material! Will get light rings or
peel off around the stain.

The above were identified by EM and Thermal view of the

material!!

*Production care recommendation and

advice.

Adhesive:

Water base adhesive: Spray application not advisable

( damp atmospheric ) ! Less viscosity will flow and easily
absorbable. Coating and brushing methods/application
procedure needed (Drying time to film formation should
be sufficient and exact. follow TECH SHEET). Use jig to
control /control application on component to correct
width and length.

Adhesive coated on release paper (double side coated) is

best option than water or solvent base adhesive.

*Cleaning:

Spot removal: Don’t use creep rubber or m/c,

rather cotton felt or tightly woven cotton cloth. Do
not rub too hard and do it in gentle circular
motion.

Instantaneous cleaning practise required for water

mark/stain and water based adhesive. Talcum powder
/water absorbent spread on water spot. On ageing to
certain period will avoid ring stain or heat air application
(dry heat air) better than absorbing agent.

Basic needs for production:

 1) Hand gloves: white color.

2) Polythene cover: To secure the WIP from dust and

handling marks.

3) Avoid External lubrication for stitching, skiving and

other procedure

Needle point:

1)Turned edge / stitch & turn: Don’t use the wedge

point or cutting point. Use acute ball point or sharp
point

2) Wedge Point: Should be medium cutting point, it’s

meant to be Medium triangle point with fabric tip or
medium triangle point. Also concentrate on “Dia “of
throat plate/needle plate. Thanks
