Product overview

Engineered for dependable performance

NFO Neats 40 expands the Neatsfoot Oil portfolio with a material profile suited to manufacturing requirements that accommodate broader raw material characteristics. It provides an alternative to lower-acidity grades for industrial formulations where the selection of oil depends on the intended processing conditions and finished-product requirements.

The Neatsfoot Oil family plays an established role in leather manufacturing, particularly in replacing natural oils removed during tanning. Its non-drying nature contributes to leather softness and helps prevent hardening or embrittlement over time.

Performance profile

Product features

Core characteristics configured for this product by our technical team.

Distinct Acidity Profile

Neats 40 has a higher free fatty acid limit than the lower-acidity Neatsfoot Oil grades, providing a separate quality classification.

Broader Color Characteristics

The grade permits a darker ASTM color than Neats 1528, Neats 20, Neats 30, Grade A and Neats 3035-1.

Non-Drying Oil Properties

Neatsfoot oil retains its non-drying characteristics, supporting leather treatment without promoting hardening during aging.
