Reductants for Tanning

Tanning reductants are fundamental chemical agents involved in the tanning phase, contributing to softening and flexibilizing the leather fibers. Their main function is to reduce the content of hexavalent chromium in chrome-tanned leather, thus improving its physical properties and ensuring a high-quality end product. 

Improved Softness: Reductants soften the leather fibers, providing a smooth and pleasant texture to the touch.

Increased Flexibility: They contribute to increasing the flexibility of the leather, making it more pliable and adaptable. 

Reduction of Hexavalent Chromium Content: Their main function is the reduction of hexavalent chromium content, complying with environmental and health standards. 

Enhanced Workability: They facilitate the leatherworking process, improving the ability to mold it according to needs. 

Optimization of Tanning Agent Penetration: They help tanning agents penetrate more effectively into the leather fibers, improving the quality of tanning. 

Compatibility with Other Tanning Agents: They are highly compatible with other tanning agents, ensuring effective synergy in the process. 

Sustainability in Tanning: They contribute to more sustainable practices by reducing the need for aggressive chemical products. 

Footwear Industry: Widely used in leather footwear production to enhance softness and flexibility.

Leather Goods and Apparel: In the manufacturing of leather goods such as bags and clothing, optimizing texture. 

Furniture Upholstery: Applied in the production of leather for furniture and upholstery, ensuring comfort and durability. 

Travel Articles: In the creation of leather products such as suitcases and travel accessories, ensuring strength and flexibility. 

High-Quality Apparel: Used in the making of high-quality leather garments to enhance the wearing experience. 

Softer and More Flexible Leather: Achieve leather with exceptional softness and flexibility.

Compliance with Environmental Standards: Reduce hexavalent chromium content, complying with environmental and health standards. 

Versatility in Applications: Adapt to various applications, from footwear to upholstery. 

Efficiency in Tanning: Optimize tanning agent penetration, improving the efficiency of the tanning process. 

Contribution to Sustainable Practices: Promote more sustainable practices by reducing the need for aggressive chemical products.
