Specialty Chemicals for Leather Processing
Pharcos offers a range of surfactants and fatliquoring agents for the leather industry. Our products support the complete leather processing chain from degreasing and tanning to softening and finishing, helping manufacturers produce high-quality leather with consistent texture, softness, and durability.
Application Areas
Degreasing
Decanol Ethoxylates (Pharcos DA) and Lauryl Ethoxylates (Pharcos L) provide rapid penetration and grease removal from raw hides and skins.
Fatliquoring
Castor Oil Ethoxylates (Pharcos CE) serve as the base for fatliquoring agents. They penetrate the collagen matrix to provide internal lubrication and softness.
Finishing
GMS-based emulsifiers (Pharcos GMS SE) provide soft-handle finishing coats that enhance the tactile quality of finished leather.
