NEMOGRADE: A New Line to Enhance Leather Quality

Technology and innovation at the service of leather finishing to improve quality, aesthetic appeal, and usable surface area.

In the leather processing industry, the quality of the raw material often presents challenges for manufacturers and finishers. To address this need, NEMOGRADE was created—a new line of products specifically developed to upgrade leather, enhancing appearance and performance even for lower-grade hides.

Thanks to their high masking power, NEMOGRADE products can be applied to various types of leather, enabling the production of higher-standard articles. The system is designed to cover natural imperfections in the grain and increase the effectively usable surface area. Another key advantage is the final result: natural, balanced, and free from excessive buildup on the leather.

Among the line, NEMOGRADE POL stands out for its special formulation based on a wax and polymer compound. This product provides excellent coverage and is particularly suitable for leather used in footwear, apparel, and leather goods. It is recommended when uniform absorption is needed and for masking minor defects in the hide. Additionally, NEMOGRADE POL offers exceptional re-polishability, giving the finished item a natural look. It can be applied via spray or roller coat, especially on full-grain leather when a slightly darkened, re-polishable effect is desired.

Another solution in the line is NEMOGRADE PL-100, formulated to achieve a mid-level upgrade for leathers mainly used in footwear, garment, and leather goods. This product can be applied using various finishing methods, including spatula, pad, roller coat, or spray. It helps to even out absorption and mask medium-level defects such as insect bites, grain lows, or scars. Leathers treated with NEMOGRADE PL-100 are uniform, silky to the touch, and highly responsive. It can be used on both corrected grain and full-grain leather, while its excellent re-polishability facilitates the creation of burnished-effect articles.

Completing the line is NEMOGRADE SX, a covering polymer compound designed to tackle more pronounced grain defects. This innovative solution is ideal for heavily damaged crusts, enabling high-quality results quickly and efficiently. It can be applied to full-grain or corrected grain leather, selecting the method best suited to the type and depth of the defects. For heavily compromised hides, pad or spatula application is recommended, while minor imperfections can be treated with roller or spray.

Thanks to its advanced technology, NEMOGRADE SX also provides excellent adhesion, eliminating the need for additional sanding after application. The final result is uniform, compact, and natural-looking leather.
With the NEMOGRADE range, the leather finishing sector now has new tools to enhance imperfect materials, improving both aesthetic quality and production efficiency.
