To manage this effectively, Clariant has developed its new Melio® 03-W-75. A polyurethane-based product, it ensures excellent fixation without hardening the leather or causing a double layer effect in laminating automotive leathers.

As cores dos plásticos refletirão a mudança nos tempos — prevê o Clariant ColorForward™ 2012

A pasta de apresentação tridimensional ColorForward™ inclui gráficos cativantes e texto luminoso, assim como amostras moldadas das cores e efeitos. (Fotografia: Clariant)Muttenz, 8 de agosto, 2011 – Em 2012, as cores que refletem movimento, evolução e surpresa – efeitos especiais e tons brilhantes, vivos e até mesmo esquisitos – devem encontrar um público receptivo. O mesmo deverá ocorrer com os tons suaves, sossegados, ocres e orgânicos que transmitam introspecção, estabilidade e responsabilidade pessoal. Se essas duas tendências parecem aleatórias, isso talvez se deva ao fato de que confusão e contradições também são elementos importantes em algumas das principais tendências da sociedade identificadas na última edição do ColorForward™. Essa ferramenta de design de cores e análise de tendências da Clariant Masterbatches é lançada anualmente visando ajudar designers de produtos plásticos e profissionais de marketing a fazerem escolhas de cores mais embasadas.
