LEATHER-DICTIONARY.jpg


Tannins are chemicals used by tanners to prevent the disintegration of the collagen fibres of the leather. These chemicals are absorbed by the hides and skins during the tanning process. They bind to the protein collagen in the skins and prevent the disintegration of the fibres by turning them into leather. Without this, the skins would decompose. A variety of tanning agents are used for tanning but the three main types of tanning are vegetable tanning, which involves the use of plant substances, chromium III and synthetic tanning. Finished leather contains about 8 to 45% of tannins.
