COLOURLOCK Soft Slip — Top Coat Additive for a Velvety-Soft Leather Surface

What does COLOURLOCK Soft Slip do? — This additive gives COLOURLOCK top coats a velvety-soft feel, reduces friction, and provides a pleasant, luxurious finish on leather and faux leather.

COLOURLOCK Soft Slip is the professional additive for COLOURLOCK top coats when a particularly soft, pleasant feel is desired on leather or faux leather. The additive reduces the coefficient of friction, improves the grip, and ensures a velvety, high-quality finish – ideal for steering wheels, seats, furniture, bags, and all areas that should feel soft and supple. Perfect after a color or repair treatment to elevate the surface not only visually but also haptically to a premium level.

• Velvety feel – Gives top coats a soft, luxurious touch finish.
• Friction reduction – Ideal for contact surfaces that should be less sticky and more pleasant to the touch.
• Professional haptic optimization – Perfect as a final step after color application or repairs.

Haptic Technology & Mechanism of Action in the Top Coat

Soft Slip changes the surface energy of the top coat, ensuring that the final coating generates less friction. This makes the leather feel softer, smoother, and more velvety – without a greasy sheen or artificial slipperiness. The special additive formulation remains stable in the dried top coat, so the effect is permanently noticeable. According to the manufacturer, Soft Slip works particularly well with matte or semi-matte top coats, as the haptic difference is most pronounced here.

Mixing, Application & Perfect Processing

Soft Slip is mixed directly into the COLOURLOCK top coat. The dosage determines the intensity of the velvety finish – low for slight smoothness, higher for a maximum soft feel. After thorough mixing, the top coat can be applied as usual with a sponge, airbrush, or spray gun. The additive has no influence on color coverage, is solely responsible for the haptic effect, and works perfectly with other additives such as Duller or Crosslinker CD. Even application is important to achieve a homogeneous feel.

Results, Areas of Application & Distinction from Other Additives

After drying, a pleasantly soft, almost velvety surface is created that feels noticeably higher quality. Soft Slip is suitable for steering wheels, seats, armrests, furniture, bags, or clothing – wherever a premium feel is desired. The additive is not a gloss modifier (Duller is responsible for that) and not a durability enhancer (Crosslinker CD does that). It is a pure feel-enhancer that elevates the surface effect to an elegant, supple level.

Frequently Asked Questions about COLOURLOCK Soft Slip

Does Soft Slip change the gloss level?

No. It affects the haptics, not the gloss. Duller is the right additive for matting.

Can I mix Soft Slip with Crosslinker?

Yes. Both can be processed together in the top coat.

Does Soft Slip make the leather slippery?

No, only soft and pleasant. It reduces friction without compromising control.

Is Soft Slip also suitable for faux leather?

Yes. The effect works just as well on faux leather as on genuine leather.

When do I apply Soft Slip?

In the last step – as part of the final top coat, after color, repair, or texture build-up.
