RECOMMENDATION :

During the leather production, there may be a risk of iron contamination. In  order to prevent this, we suggest to use an iron-sequestering agent such as Pop DS Powder (0.2% on the reference weight), which may be added together with the first addition of tanning agents on the tanning or retanning processes.
