Suede Fatliquor 5.0

Suede Fatliquor 5.0 by Leather Doctor is a pH 5.0 ionic negative (-ve) charged fat and oil microemulsion to soften against dryness, stiffness, and weakness.

It replenishes the original diminishing fat and oil and rejuvenates with softness and strength.

The fat plumps the protein fibril with fullness and the oil relaxes coarse breaks, creases, and wrinkles to impart drapes and suppleness, prolong premature aging, and prevent dry rotting.

Instruction:

1: Concentrate is mixed with distilled water 1: 5 before use.

2: Apply and redistribute with appropriate brushes or pads until the leather is saturated.

3: Repeat each time water contents evaporate with only the fat and oil content.

4: Allow natural drying for extra softness.

5: The desired suppleness is further staked, massaged, and flexed accordingly with a little wet back with Hydrator 3.3 until dry.

.

1: What is Fatliquor?

1.1: Fatliquor 5.0 conditioner is a micro-emulsion of fat, oil, and water for rejuvenating, restoring, and softening suede to impart their original suppleness and protect them from dry rotting and stiffness. 

1.2: Concentrate when mixed with 1: 5 parts of distilled water turns into a milky micro-emulsion that looks like fresh milk ready to use.

1.3: Stiff or dried suede are hydrated and relaxed with Hydrator 3.3 to pre-dimension for a proven effective fatliquoring system.

2: How does Fatliquor work?

2.1: Fatliquor 5.0 typically works after hydration with Hydrator 3.3 to open up the fibrous structure, ensuring thorough and even absorption of fat and oil.

2.2: The fat plumps the leather with fullness and the oil lubricates each suede fibril like millions of interconnecting hinges to glide over one another smoothly once the water content evaporates.

2.3: Effective fatliquoring results in softer suede with increased tensile and tear strength.

3: Why Does Fatliquor Work?

3.1: The fat content in Fatliquor 5.0 plumps up the leather, preventing it from easily collapsing into creases and wrinkles during stress or flex.

3.2: The oil content lubricates the fibers, allowing them to slide over one another smoothly like millions of interconnecting hinges.

3.3: Fatliquor 5.0 helps to keep suede at its optimum physical performance and prevent premature aging.

3.4: Fatliquor 5.0 softens the suede when dry, providing stretchability, compressibility, and flexibility while significantly increasing its rip tensile strength.

4: When Does Fatliquor Work?

4.1: When Fatliquor 5.0 is applied, the water-encased molecule breaks free when an ionic attraction occurs between the fat and oil with the suede fiber.

4.2: The excess free water content is wicked out, leaving breathing space for the natural transpiration of the suede.

5: What is the Purpose of using Fatliquor?

5.1: Fatliquor 5.0 carries an ionic negative (-ve) charge to hydrogen bond with the ionic positive (+ve) charge of the suede fibers, thus freeing up pores for better breathability.

5.2: Unlike other stuffing conditioning oils that just fill up, darken, and suffocate the breathing pores.

6: What is the Purpose of Fatliquor?

6.1: Fatliquor 5.0 conditioning is for replenishing the original fat and oil that diminishes through sun bleaching, aging, heat, and alkaline over-exposure or cleaning.

7: What is the original percentage of leather fat liquor content from the tannery?

7.1: Fatliquor content retained after a universal tannery when dries varies by an average of 14% depending on the suede type and its usage.

8: How does the Fatliquor content of Fat and Oil Diminish?

8.1: Fatliquor percentage drops as the fat and oil content diminishes through aging and heat, or when it is leached out by water or chemical overexposure during cleaning.

9: How to determine the Percentage of Fatliquor required by the leather?

9.1: The Fatliquor content required by the suede is based on the weight of the percentage of remaining fat-liquor.

10: How to Calculate the Percentage of Fatliquor Required?

10.1: Fatliquor requirement is simply calculated by the weight difference in percentage.

10.2: If the weight of the suede is 100gm and the suede moisture reading is less than 1%.

10.3: Applying 80gm of Fatliquor 5.0 will deliver a result incremental of 13.3% fatliquor when dry as the 66.6% water content evaporates.

11: Why is Hydrator 3.3 used before Fatliquor 5.0?

11.1: Hydrator 3.3 is used both as a hydrator to relax, open up the inter-fibrillary spaces, and facilitate and redistribute colloidal water movement.

11.2: Besides, protonating is used to post-clean fatliquor surface remnants.

12: What is the ratio of usage between Hydrator 3.3 and Fatliquor 5.0?

12.1: Hydrator 3.3 to Fatliquor 5.0 ratio practice is 2 to 1, and it works out to be approximately 160gm of Hydrator 3.3 plus 80gm of Fatliquor 5.0 to replenish 100gm dry suede, from less than 1% back to the original tannery up from an average of 14% fat liquor content.

12.2: Fatliquor 5.0 by weight content is comprised of 16.66% ionic negative (-ve) charged fat and oil, encased in 83.33% of water.

12.3: Fat liquor water content that encased the fat and oil molecule in an emulsion suspension when hydrogen bonds with the ionic positive (+ve) suede protein fiber break free and discharge clear from the suede structure to the surface.

13: Tips:

13.1: Always pre-condition suede with Hydrator 3.3 to relax, and open up the fiber structure before Fatliquor 5.0.

13.2: A fully fat liquor replenished suede maintains an average of 14% fat and oil content, while vegetable-tanned suede is more thirsty.

13.3: Insufficient fat-liquoring (fat and oil) content may remain stiff and may also suffer cracking from staking, massaging, or flexing.

13.4: When crispy dry, prior surface contamination/damages may darken as soiling particulates resurface.

13.5: Removes surface soiling particulates with Eraser 5 for suede.

13.6: Stretching the dark areas lightly will also lighten the appearance.

The Lazarus Effect https://leatherdoctor.com/sheepskin-care-kit-sr3/#product-reviews

This product revived my 40-year-old Sheepskin coat that cracked at the touch of it after applying another company's 'Restoration' product. That other product ruined my coat, and I was about to throw it away but took a chance on the Leather Doctor. After applying Hydrator 3.3, I saw an immediate change. I then continued with the Fatliquor 5.0 and was shocked to see the change. My coat is now as soft and supple as it was when I purchased it in 1975! Don't even take a chance on valuable leathers with other companies' products, this one will amaze you with its results.

Your opinions and insights are precious and will help us to improve our writing to solve your leather problem more efficiently.
