How Chrome tanned leather is made

Chrome tanning is the most popular kind of tanning in the global leather industry. Tanning refers to the process of treating the animal hide to turn it into leather, which is more supple, resilient and suitable for use in various products.

Most the time, the chromium tanning process starts right there when the animal is slaughtered. Unlike vegetable tanning, chrome tanners don’t get raw hides. After the animal is slaughtered, the hide is removed, usually by machine. It is then taken to a tannery that is part of the slaughterhouse, where the hair and flesh are removed. It is then put through an initial tanning process where the hides come out with a distinct bluish tinge.

Quality

Chrome tanning was originally introduced as an alternative to vegetable tanning, which is a laborious and time-consuming process. The result of this process, however, is a more supple leather, and better water resistance than vegetable tanned leather. It is also more resistant to stains and heat compared to vegetable-tanned leather.

Chrome-tanned leather can be dyed in a range of colors, so it is an excellent option for customers looking for a wide variety of colors. The color of chrome-tanned leather remains uniform and does not develop a patina as quickly as vegetable-tanned leather. It does not have the leather smell that is characteristic of vegetable-tanned leather, and instead often has a chemical smell.

Advantages of Chrome Leather

Vegetable tanning can take up to two months, but chrome tanning can be completed within a day utilizing modern machinery. Because it is quick and requires only some industrial machinery and chemicals, it is cheaper and more widely available than vegetable-tanned leather.

In some applications, it is desirable to keep the color of the material unchanged over time, and chrome-tanned leather meets this requirement. It is soft and flexible right from the time of purchase. On the other hand, vegetable tanned leather gets more supple with time. Chrome leather is also water, heat and stain resistant.

How to Care for Chrome Leather

Oils will actually clog the pores of the leather, so you’ll only want to apply wax or a recommended spray that will waterproof it. Shoe wax works well for chrome leathers. You can re-apply these products on the product once every six months, or if the shine is gone. Avoid storing the leather items in sunlight or wet places.
