A USEFUL FIRST STEP
Start with a brief.
Build the evidence.
Free samples are available for qualified commercial trials after an application review. Sample selection, quantity, delivery and the trial method are agreed before dispatch.
Plan the next step ↗- Describe your application.
Hide or skin type, process stage, current chemicals, pH, temperature, treatment time and leather quality requirements.
- Agree the trial conditions.
Include the material, scale, pH, temperature, contact time and any existing process chemicals.
- Define a useful result.
Choose the comparison, controls and measurements that will guide your next decision.
BEFORE YOU START
The details
that matter.
Can food-enzyme instructions be used for leather processing?
No. The substrate, conditions and quality endpoint are different. Agree a technical application specification.
How should excessive protein treatment be assessed?
Include strength, grain and appearance criteria alongside the desired process result in the trial.
Are mill-scale samples available?
Qualified tannery trials can be discussed after an application review and volume brief.
Do you offer bulk supply and tailored blends?
Send your application, required quantity, specifications and delivery destination. We will review a suitable supply or development route and provide a quotation.
