ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides for a method of improving the pull-up characteristic of a leather substrate darkened with a finishing oil modified by dissolving a modifier in a conventional finishing oil. The modifier may be polymerized from a monomer mix of alkyl acrylates and alkyl methacrylates. Improved pull-up characteristic of a leather substrate is esthetically very appealing and is highly desired by a consumer. The modifier of the present invention increases the viscosity of the finishing oil, thereby extending the open time, which is a time duration during which the oil applied over the leather substrate surface stays on the surface. Increased open time permits a manufacturer to spread the oil over more area of the leather substrate than conventional unmodified finishing oils, without substantially affecting the pull-up characteristic of a leather substrate darkened with the finishing oil.
