Mimosa screening (organic or natural tanning)
Pure nature: Only vegetable tanning agents are used for mimosa tanning. These usually come from the bark or heartwood of the acacia tree. We mainly use it to process baby skins and wellness skins such as bed pads.

Tare staining (vegetable)
The ideal tanning for all decorative and car seat skins. Powder from the tara pod is used as the tanning agent. The fur products are heat-resistant and washable.

Medicinal tanning (Relugan)
Baby skins and all medical skins such as bed pads or wheelchair covers require special treatment. The synthetic tanning agent Relugan has been "copied" from vegetable tanning agents. Advantages: The skins are extremely skin-friendly, durable and washable.

White tanning (aluminum salts)
Aluminum salts are used as tanning agents in white tanning. It is suitable for all furs whose natural colors are to be preserved. The finished fur products are neither heat-resistant nor washable.

Professional treatment is the most important prerequisite for successful tanning and finishing. Drying or salting is intended to preserve the hide by removing moisture. Immediate treatment is important. Please read our instructions carefully and follow them. This will ensure that we can produce a finished hide of the best quality from your raw material.
