Welcome
This is the nineth edition of our scientific newsletter, dedicated to providing the latest updates on research, regulatory developments, technology, and standard methods in the leather industry.
NOTE: This newsletter is in English, Spanish and Portuguese. One version after the other.
In this issue, we feature an interview with Mr. João Carlos Graeff, a tanner, and Sales Manager for TANAC in Montenegro, RS, Brazil.
It is a great honor for IULTCS to have the collaboration of Mr. Graeff in a very important chemical for the leather manufacture: the extracts of Acacia used in the leather industry for both tannage and retannage of several types of leathers. The tannins from plants represent great value as being a renewable and biobasedchemical that produce compostable leather.
We appreciate Mr. Graeff’s collaboration with IULTCS’ Newsletter.
Please share your comments and suggestions to secretary@iultcs.org
Kind regards,
Dr. Luis A. Zugno, edito
