In a game-changing move, Trumpler, a respected leader in leather chemicals since 1868, has partnered with Archroma, a global specialist in sustainable solutions within the specialty chemicals industry. Together, they introduce DyTan, an innovative leather production process set to transform the industry by offering eco-friendly and cost-effective leather production.
DyTan is a result of collaboration, blending Archroma's revolutionary AVICUERO System with Trumpler's bio-based fatliquors and retanning agents. This eco-conscious approach replaces traditional metal-based leather tanning processes, offering impeccable shavability, exceptional color depth, and impressive resistance to migration and abrasion.
Moreover, DyTan reduces environmental impact by eliminating metal salts and reactive aldehydes, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, from fashion and automotive upholstery to furniture.
At the heart of DyTan is Archroma's patented AVICUERO System, designed to covalently cross-link collagen fibers in leather, offering energy and water savings of up to 23%, along with reduced CO2 emissions. Hein Vugs, Managing Director of Trumpler Group, envisions a more sustainable leather industry without compromising quality.
Mark Garrett, Archroma Group CEO, sees DyTan as a remarkable milestone in the leather production history, benefitting the industry and the environment. Trumpler's global partnership with Archroma ensures worldwide distribution and support for the AVICUERO System, promising a bright future for eco-conscious leather producers.
