Liquid Shell treatment allows an increase in the leather properties, bringing to a good resistance to abrasion, to UV-A and UV-B ray, acid and alkaline sweat, and to flammability. These improvements in the physical and mechanical properties are performed preserving the flexibility and the softness of the natural leather. The treatment, therefore, allows the use of thinner substrate layer, bringing to an increase in the flexibility and elasticity.
The tenacity, tear and salinity resistance of the Liquid Shell treated leather makes it very suitable for extreme sports, such as marine environment, where the surfaces are usually subjected to wear and thermal range.
