Light Weight and Cold Resistant Leathers

• A leather-making process with a judicious selection of fatliquors, retanning, and tanning agents, along with precise control of process parameters is standardized.
• Developed leather is resilient to temperatures ranging from –30 to –10°C and has lightweight property of 450±100 GSM.

• Invention holds significant potential for immediate application in the leather and leather products industries suitable for products such as gloves and garments.
• Optimized process recipe with commercially available chemicals for making light weight-cold resistance glove leathers
• The process has been validated with 50 kg batch at CSIR-CLRI Pilot tannery

• The resultant leather has cold resistance (up to -30^oC) and light weight character (450±100 gsm)
• Leathers pass all the physical and chemical requirements for glove and garment leathers
• Leathers effectively converted into gloves and characterized
