Leather Industry

Conventional Quick Lime powder is extensively used in the leather industry, particularly during the tanning process. It aids in the removal of hair and other impurities from animal hides in the dehairing stage, making the leather soft and workable. Additionally, it helps in swelling and loosening the fibers of the hide, which is essential for further treatment and tanning. This chemical action ensures that the leather is prepared for the subsequent stages, such as bating and pickling, resulting in a high-quality finished product with the desired texture and flexibility.
