Another new tanning system proposed, this time from Finland

27/07/2012
Finnish water chemistry and water treatment specialist company Kemira has introduced a new chrome-free tanning system for the tanning industry.

The company is the world's largest producer of organic salts and blends and its Tanfor T system is based on compounds from aluminium, silicon and organic acids.

The system is free of chromium, aldehydes, aldehyde precursors and organic solvents. According to the company, with the appropriate retanning, Tanfor T can be used for all known leather applications and can fully replace both aldehydes and chromium.
