The premise of the Sahara leather program is to reduce the water-usage, chemical usage and drum/machinery time (equating to reduced energy usage) during the retannage process.
The Sahara solution is comprised of specialized and innovative chemistry. Then using osmosis the leather is able to take-in the chemicals, even in a low bath (minimal water).
With this improved chemical and water intake the leather doesn’t require as much water or chemical use, and doesn’t need to be in the drum as long as traditional tanning methods.
- WATER REDUCTION OF 60-80% (COLOR DEPENDANT)
- ENERGY USE REDUCTION OF 38% LESS DRUM TIME
- CHEMICAL USE REDUCTION OF 10-40%
Water is the driving force of all nature
