Unit price perLeTech Thickening Agent – Professional Polyurethane Viscosity Modifier
The LeTech Thickening Agent (Expert Line) is a high-performance functional additive engineered from synthetic polyurethanes. Developed with professional British restoration heritage, this solution is designed to precisely adjust the viscosity and rheological properties of aqueous polyurethane dispersions. It is an essential component for restoration specialists and automotive detailers requiring granular control over the consistency of leather dyes, protective top coats, and repair compounds.
Advanced Viscosity Control for Professional Restoration
This technical additive allows professionals to modify the flow characteristics of leather coatings without compromising the integrity of the original formula. Whether increasing the body of a top coat for vertical applications or creating high-build finishes for patent leather, the Thickening Agent ensures a stable, predictable result. The formula is specifically optimized to prevent sagging and minimize splatter during spray or sponge applications.
Professional Applications
Automotive Interiors
Ideal for refining the consistency of dyes used on bolstered seats, steering wheels, and door panels where precision and run-prevention are critical.
Furniture Restoration
Provides the necessary body for applying top coats to vertical surfaces of luxury sofas and chairs, ensuring an even, drip-free finish.
Marine Interiors
Engineered to withstand the rigorous demands of marine upholstery restoration, allowing for thick, protective barriers on heavy-use surfaces.
Private Aviation
Meets the exacting standards required for the restoration of premium aircraft leather, maintaining material flexibility and transparency.
Luxury Leather Goods
Essential for achieving the "super-gloss" aesthetic required for patent leather footwear and high-end handbags when mixed with gloss top coats.
Why Professionals Choose LeTech
LeTech represents the pinnacle of British restoration standards. Unlike retail-grade additives, the Expert Line Thickening Agent maintains total transparency and does not alter the color accuracy of the base product. It preserves the drying time and intercoat adhesion of the leather finish, ensuring that the structural integrity of the repair remains uncompromised. This professional reliability reduces material waste and labor time, providing significant cost savings compared to component replacement.
Technical Specifications
- Surface Compatibility: Natural leather, bonded leather, and vinyl (when used with compatible LeTech coatings).
- Finish Type: Maintains the original finish of the base product (Gloss, Matte, or Satin).
- Drying Time: Does not affect the standard curing cycle of polyurethane coatings.
- Coverage: Highly concentrated; 1% to 5% addition rate by volume.
- Durability: High-grade synthetic polyurethane ensures long-term film stability.
- Application Method: Direct integration into liquid coatings via thorough mechanical mixing.
BENEFITS
- Precision Restoration: Achieve the exact thickness required for specialized repair techniques.
- Zero Color Shift: Formulated to remain 100% transparent upon curing.
- Anti-Sagging Properties: Facilitates heavy application on vertical surfaces without runs or drips.
- Cost Efficiency: Extends the utility of standard dyes and coats for specialized high-build tasks.
- Maintained Adhesion: Does not weaken the bond between leather fibers and the coating layers.
HOW TO USE
- Preparation: Ensure the base product (Leather Colourant, Top Coat, or Filler) is clean and ready for mixing.
- Dosage: Introduce the Thickening Agent at a ratio of 1% to 5% of the total volume. Do not exceed 5% to avoid excessive viscosity.
- Mixing: Stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the agent throughout the medium. No pre-dilution is required.
- Testing: Always conduct a small-scale test on an inconspicuous area to verify the desired flow and finish.
- Application: Apply the thickened mixture using a sponge, brush, or specialized spray equipment according to the base product's instructions.
- Safety: Work in a well-ventilated area. Use professional-grade PPE as recommended for polyurethane handling.
