We only extract the tannin from chestnut wood, through a natural process of leaching in the water. All the qualities of the organic acid molecules the tannin is composed of remain intact. We chose the chestnut tree because its tannin is hydrolysable. This feature leads to an ecological and safe use, and guarantees a high-quality product.
High quality of the molecule
It improves the leather production yield, reducing, at the same time, the need of tanks cleanliness
It leads to a cleaner, more natural and resistant leather
Astringent extracts
The astringent extracts of Saviotan Leather are used in the traditional tanning of hides and skins – slow, made in the tank – for sole leather.
Softened extracts (Basic)
The softened extracts of Saviotan Leather have a higher ph compared to the astringent ones, to allow a better penetration of the product into the already tanned leather.
Applications
Saviotan Leather is used in the tanning process to create a solid and resistant product, suitable for sole leather and for all the uses which require resistance and duration.
Soles
Leather
