Product overview
Engineered for dependable performance
NFO Neats Prime is part of the Neatsfoot Oil portfolio,
offering manufacturers an alternative grade for applications where broader raw
material acidity and color requirements are acceptable. Its quality
classification distinguishes it from the lower-acidity grades while maintaining
the general characteristics associated with neatsfoot oils.
Leather manufacturing remains a primary application for this
product family. Neatsfoot oil replaces natural oils removed during tanning,
helping preserve the softness and flexibility of finished leather. Its
non-drying nature also helps protect against hardening and embrittlement as
leather ages.
