>>> What is the difference between the MicroTop-54 and NapaTop-84?
MicroTop-54 is an urethane topcoat that forms a “continuous film”.
NapaTop-84 is a nitrocellulose topcoat that forms a “discontinuous film”.
>>> Also, does the Crosslinker-25 help with adhesion?
Crosslinker-25 is only used when there is a finish problem that stickiness, otherwise it is not recommended as it is super strong and may be difficult in removing them and may also pose difficulties in future coatings. It is only used in MicroTop-54.
>>> If so, would Crosslinker-25 and Adhesor-73 be ok?
These products are used in this sequence: Adhesor-73 > Micro-54 > MicroTop-54 + Crosslinker-25.
Tips:
The term napa may refer to the leather without splitting, either from a small animal usually sheep for garment or calf for upholstery and may be micro-pigmented with Adhesor-73 > Micro-54 > MicroTop-54 finishing system.
Napa in garment refers to the un-split leather and also using Napa-84 > NapaTop-84 refinishing system.
Napa refinishing system differentiates in the ability to be absorbent as water droplet easily being absorbed into the leather. Napa leather for upholstery is usually micro-pigmented and water droplet pools on the surface.
