The stages of leather processing
Rawhide preservation
The rawhide is carefully preserved to ensure that it retains all its natural properties. This stage is essential to avoid deterioration of the material and ensure the final quality of the product.
Preparation for tanning (Beach operations)
The leather is prepared through cleaning and treatment, to make it ready for tanning. These steps remove impurities and prepare the surface of the leather to receive the subsequent treatment.
Tanning: the heart of leather processing
Tanning is the phase in which the leather is transformed . There are various tanning methods, such as chrome tanning, which gives elasticity and resistance, or vegetable tanning, which uses natural extracts for a more ecological and sustainable result. Each leather tells a different story, and tanning is the moment in which that story takes shape .
Post-tanning operations: drying and finishing
Drying, fattening, staking and finishing are the next steps, where the leather is dried, softened and finished to obtain the desired look . Henotis adopts sustainable and low environmental impact techniques, respecting the environment and enhancing the natural beauty of the leather.
