Kitchen and Sanitary Care

In bathrooms and kitchens normally very high-quality materials such as ceramics, glass, stainless steel or marble are used. These surfaces are usually highly polished.

Furniture and Leather Care

Materials made of leather are found almost everywhere in everyday life no matter whether shoes, briefcases, furniture or automotive parts.

Leather is a very important material in our life, but it is sensitive to moisture and other environmental influences.

For this reason it is particularly important to take care of this precious material and to protect it in the appropriate way.

With the proper care, the sensitivity of leather can be reduced and a lasting quality can be achieved. Modified silicones are an important and innovative raw material for high-quality leather care products.
