Cellulose-based lacquers are used in leather finishing to provide a protective topcoat that enhances surface appearance, touch, and durability. When formulated as water-based systems, these lacquers reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and eliminate the need for hazardous solvents typically found in traditional finishing systems.

Derived from renewable cellulose sources, these lacquers support the use of bio-based feedstocks while offering excellent film-forming properties and a natural feel. Water-based cellulose lacquers also contribute to better working conditions and reduced flammability risks in production environments, aligning with occupational health and safety objectives.

The shift toward water-based, biodegradable finishing solutions is reinforced by regulatory requirements and voluntary standards from the Leather Working Group (LWG), REACH, and OEKO-TEX®. Brands focused on circular material strategies also favor these lacquers for their potential compatibility with disassembly and recyclability processes.

B2B platforms enable procurement teams to source certified, transparent cellulose lacquer systems that meet both aesthetic and sustainability demands, supporting responsible material innovation across fashion and upholstery leather sectors.
