Cross Linker Eco is a two-part hardener used to strengthen polyurethane coatings. It is a fast curing, ready-to-use, waterborne activated cross linking agent.
Specially formulated to be completely non-hazardous, the addition of this complex molecule is used to enhance the physical properties of polyurethane coatings. When mixed with Leather Finish or Adhesion Promoter, Cross Linker Eco reacts quickly, creating a chemical reaction with the coating to remove the water content and any impurities which greatly improves the curing time of the finish. At this stage, the Cross Linker then proceeds to form a chemical bond between the molecules in the coating, creating a much tougher and harder wearing finish. The addition of Cross Linker Eco will speed up the curing process to three days rather than seven.
The diagrams above show how the addition of Cross Linker Eco to the coating changes the bonds formed during the curing process and produces a finish with superior strength and durability. Not only does this significantly improve the rub fastness of the leather, it also has increased resistance to perspiration, grease and oil.
Cross Linker Eco is Suitable For
Cross Linker Eco can be used on all different articles of leather, from furniture and car interiors to clothes, shoes, handbags and even equestrian leathers. Cross Linker Eco is an additive to the Leather Finish or Adhesion Promoter where a more robust finish is required. It can be used anywhere Leather Finish is normally applied. It works on all colours of leather and all different grain types.
Aniline & Semi-Aniline Leather
Pigmented Leather
Oil & Wax Pull Up Leather
BiCast Leather
Two Tone, Mottled & Antique Finished Leather

Cross Linker Eco should be mixed into the Finish or Adhesion Promoter at a ratio of one part Cross Linker Eco to eight parts finish (1:8);
As an example, 50ml of Cross Linker Eco should be added to 400ml of Leather finish giving 450ml of Cross Linked Leather Finish’
Make sure to stir or shake well for around two minutes to ensure the products have mixed thoroughly.
The Cross Linked Leather Finish has a pot life of seven days; meaning once mixed, it should be used within this time. Apply the Leather Finish as normal.
Q. Can this be used to strengthen other products?
A. The Cross Linker Eco is designed to be used with our Leather Finish. It can also be used with Leather Colourant, however there is a chance that it can slightly change the colour, therefore it is recommended as professional use only in this instance.
Q. Do I have to use the Cross Linker Eco with the Finish?
A. No, the addition of Cross Linker Eco is not necessary, however is highly recommended as it greatly improves the quality of the Finish. By adding Cross Linker Eco into the Finish it improves its rub resistance, colour fastness, reduces water sensitivity and increases the resistance to perspiration, grease and oils.
