Innovation an Eco Friendly Technology: Tanning System using Semi Chrome and Improved Indigenous Tannins (Acacia Nilotica Pods)

Haj Ali Alim A, Gasm elseed GA, Ahmed AE · 2019 · Journal of Biotechnology and Biomedicine

Summary. Researchers in Sudan developed an eco-friendly leather tanning method using semi-chrome tanning combined with indigenous plant materials—Acacia nilotica pods (Garad) and Neem bark. Testing showed the resulting leather matched or exceeded traditional tanned leather in tensile strength, tear resistance, and thermal stability. Blending these local plant tannins significantly improved leather quality while reducing environmental impact.
