NTE authorized dealerVegetable Tannin
Acacia mearnsii
Obtained from black wattle bark, the most widely used tannin in vegetable tanning. Gives natural, firm and full leather.
Vegetable Tannin
Schinopsis spp.
Extracted from the heartwood of the South American quebracho tree. Gives firmer, harder and darker leather than mimosa.
Vegetable Tannin
Castanea sativa
A hydrolysable tannin from chestnut wood. Gives firm, full and abrasion-resistant leather.
Vegetable Tannin
Quercus ithaburensis subsp. macrolepis
A traditional Turkish vegetable tannin from valonia oak acorn cups, used for heavy and firm leather.
Organic Acid
HCOOH · 85%
The most widely used organic acid in leather processing. Lowers pH in pickling and fixes dyes and fatliquors.
Corrosive; vapour is irritating. Wear goggles and gloves.
Organic Acid
C₂H₂O₄ · 2H₂O
Binds and removes iron and metal stains; lightens and bleaches vegetable-tanned leather.
Harmful if swallowed or in contact with skin. Wear gloves and a dust mask.
Inorganic Acid
H₃BO₃
Provides a mild, buffered pH drop in deliming and limits bacterial growth in soaking.
Classified as toxic to reproduction. Do not inhale dust.
MKS authorized dealerSalt · Masking Agent
HCOONa
Masking agent in pickling and tanning; ensures deep and even penetration of the tanning agent.
pH Regulator
MgO
Dissolves slowly for self-basifying; supports fixation of the tanning agent without overshooting pH.
Alkali
Na₂CO₃ · light
Low-density sodium carbonate for basification, pH adjustment in soaking and neutralization.
Eye irritant. Add to the drum dissolved and gradually.
Alkali
NaHCO₃
Slowly raises pH to 3.8–4.2 at the end of tanning, fixing the tanning agent to the fibres.
Alkali
NH₄HCO₃
Raises pH evenly through the leather cross-section during neutralization without hardening the surface.
Store cool in closed packaging; releases ammonia when warm.
Alkali
NaOH · sodium hydroxide
Strong alkali for pH increase in soaking, degreasing and wastewater neutralization.
Highly corrosive. Releases heat when dissolved; add gradually.
Alkali
NH₄OH · 25% solution
Raises pH before dyeing for deep and even dye penetration through the leather.
Vapour irritates eyes and airways. Use with ventilation.
Complexing Agent
Tetrasodium EDTA
Binds calcium, magnesium and iron ions; prevents stains and deposits caused by hard water and metal ions.
Reducing Agent
Na₂S₂O₅
Used for bleaching and lightening, as a deliming aid and to prevent Cr(VI) formation in chrome leather.
Releases SO₂ gas on contact with acids. Store separately from acids.
White Pigment
TiO₂ · rutile / anatase
White pigment with very high hiding power and brightness, used in leather finishing, paints, construction and plastics.
Do not inhale the powder. Wear a dust mask.
Dispersant · Syntan
Naphthalene sulfonate
Auxiliary syntan with strong dispersing power; ensures even and deep penetration of tannins and dyes.
Retanning
Polymer / acrylic / protein based
Fills the loose areas of the hide, gives a full and tight structure and improves cutting yield.
Retanning
Selective fillers
Selectively fill loose areas such as flanks and bellies, reducing the difference between back and flank.
Fatliquoring
Sulphited / sulphonated natural and synthetic oils
Penetrate between the fibres and prevent them from sticking; give softness, flexibility and the desired handle.
Dyeing
Acid / metal complex / direct dyes
Anionic dyes for drum dyeing of wet-blue and wet-white leather; wide shade range.
