D&A Edge Polymer Unveils Industry-First Special Effect Edge Paints: The Gleam and Rocky
At the D&A Edge Polymer area, the launch of two new special effect edge paints — The Gleam and Rocky — quickly became a major attraction.
Visitors were especially drawn to The Gleam, repeatedly viewing it from different angles to appreciate its shifting light and shadow effect. Rocky also generated strong curiosity, with many guests touching the samples to experience its distinctive textured, stone-like finish.
Through these interactive product experiences, visitors were able to see how innovative edge paint can move beyond function and become a powerful design element, adding new visual depth, tactile appeal and creative expression to leather goods.
Many professional buyers requested samples on site and held in-depth discussions with the D&A Edge Polymer team about technical performance, application methods and potential use cases. The availability of BIO-Circul® bio-based versions for both products also attracted attention from brand customers seeking more sustainable edge paint solutions.
