As the sports world gears up for the 2006 Soccer World Cup, UK tanner Pittards has entered the battle early with the launch of its new product named Armortan-K.

Armortan-K incorporates the Kevlar molecule which interacts with the leather to give extra strength and durability. According to Richard Malin of Pittards, the strength achieved creates an effect like a bullet going into a sand bag”. It is not just a drum treatment although the company does not try and get full penetration, using a mixed drum and surface coating approach.
