What is leather?

Ultimately, leather is the animal skin that has been made durable through tanning and mechanical processing, whose natural fiber structure is largely retained. According to a common description, leather is animal skin that no longer rots and does not dry out like a horn. Valuable properties of the peeled skins that should definitely be retained during the preservation and tanning process are: inner softness, limited stretchability and, above all, high tear resistance. Leather is a surface material that has been given new properties through chemical treatment and mechanical processing while preserving the natural fiber structure, e.g

• Rot resistance
• Temperature resistance
• Lasting softness
