Professional Anti-Wear Slip Additive for Leather Top Coat Finishing

LeTech Slip Additive is a professional-grade anti-wear modifier formulated to be blended directly into leather top coat finishes, significantly increasing surface durability, abrasion resistance, and tactile quality. Developed to British restoration standards and trusted by professional leather technicians, detailers, and restoration specialists across automotive, furniture, marine, and luxury goods sectors.

What This Product Does

When incorporated into a leather top coat or protective finish, Slip Additive forms a reinforced surface layer that resists mechanical wear, surface scratching, scuffing, and abrasion. It simultaneously improves the tactile feel of the finished surface — delivering a refined, professional result without compromising the leather's natural breathability, flexibility, or moisture exchange properties.

Unlike standard top coat finishes applied alone, a Slip Additive-modified coating provides measurably superior resistance to daily operational stress — critical for high-contact surfaces such as automotive seats, steering wheels, furniture cushions, and leather accessories subjected to consistent use.

Professional Applications

  • Automotive Interiors: Seats, door panels, steering wheels, headrests, and dashboards requiring durable, wear-resistant protective finishes after leather repair or full redye.
  • Furniture Restoration: Sofas, chairs, and upholstered leather pieces in residential and commercial environments where surface longevity and appearance retention are essential.
  • Marine Interiors: Helm seats, cabin upholstery, and cockpit leather exposed to demanding environmental and mechanical stress.
  • Private Aviation: Aircraft cabin seating and leather surfaces requiring premium-grade protection with strict performance consistency.
  • Luxury Leather Goods: Handbags, belts, small leather goods, and footwear requiring scratch and scuff resistance with maintained tactile quality.

Not suitable for suede or nubuck surfaces.

Why Professionals Choose LeTech

LeTech Expert Line products are formulated to professional restoration standards developed in Britain — where exacting performance expectations and material compatibility are non-negotiable. Slip Additive integrates seamlessly into the LeTech finishing system, working in combination with Leather Top Coat and Cross Linker to deliver a complete, professionally engineered protective layer.

  • Water-based, low-VOC formula — compliant with environmental and toxicological standards
  • Does not alter leather color or surface clarity
  • Preserves leather breathability and natural flexibility
  • Proven performance across automotive OEM, furniture, and luxury goods restoration workflows
  • Extends the operational life of finished leather surfaces — reducing costly rework and premature re-restoration

How to Use — Step by Step

  1. Complete all surface preparation, repair, and dyeing processes before applying the protective finish layer. Ensure the leather surface is clean, dry, and free of any contaminants, oils, or loose material.
  2. Prepare your top coat mixture. Combine LeTech Leather Top Coat with Cross Linker at 5–10% of total product volume. Add Slip Additive at 7–10% of total product volume. Mix thoroughly before application.
  3. Test before full application. Apply a small amount of the mixed finish to an inconspicuous area. Allow to cure fully and assess adhesion, finish quality, and color neutrality before proceeding.
  4. Apply the finish using an airbrush or HVLP spray gun. Maintain consistent distance and even pass speed to achieve a uniform protective layer. Avoid over-application — excessively thick coats may affect color clarity and surface flexibility.
  5. Allow initial cure of 2–3 hours before light use. For full surface cure and maximum protective performance, allow 8–12 hours undisturbed.
  6. Do not apply leather cleaning agents, conditioners, or any surface treatments for a minimum of 7 days following application to allow the coating to fully cross-link and stabilize.
  7. After the 7-day cure period, the surface may be used and maintained without restriction.
