Our casein selection guide helps you find the right casein finishing solution

Stahl offers several casein finishing solutions to enable high-performance leather binding and plating, including products from our Melio® portfolios. Most of these offer good plating, with some offering additional properties such as adhesion, good flexes or dry rubs. What’s more, many offer acetone and solvent resistance or glazing, and each is suitable for different types of coating. Stahl’s casein protein binders are part of the Stahl Neo® portfolio.
