Stahl Ymagine® offers the best quality bio-based edge coatings on the market with high performance against scuffs and abrasions and a high percentage of bio-based content.
Stahl, a leading supplier of specialty coatings and treatments for flexible materials in the Netherlands, has announced a portfolio of high-performance, bio-based edge coatings for luxury accessories.
Stahl’s edge coating products for leather and synthetics are used, among others, by leading luxury goods brands to give bags, belts and other accessories a sophisticated look. The development of the Stahl Ymagine® range of bio-based edging products therefore marks the next stage in Stahl’s ongoing strategy to de-fossilize our value chain and work with our customers to deliver solutions made with more renewable raw materials.
Stahl Ymagine® continues to meet the needs of technically demanding brands and manufacturers, while addressing the current lack of bio-based solutions in the edge paint category. It offers the same excellent performance as Stahl’s other premium edge coating products, including the following benefits:
- Excellent aging and hydrolysis resistance
- High solids content requiring fewer layers
- Suitable for leather and synthetics
- ZDHC and REACH compliant
- More than 2,000 colors developed and color matching capabilities in line with customer requirements
Georges Fonseca, Global Business Manager Shoe Coatings and Leather Care at Stahl: “’Stahl Ymagine® is the result of years of intensive research and development, where it has shown outstanding performance under a wide range of conditions. With its bio-based formulation, it demonstrates the concrete progress Stahl is making on our ESG Roadmap to 2030. This high-quality edge paint product is a source of great pride for our team. It feels great and is kind to the planet, fulfilling both aspects of our purpose: ‘Touching lives for a better world’.”
