Leather
Oils
Neatsfoot oil has
been used for centuries in leather goods due to it's ability to
impart certain desired properties on the leather. During the tanning
process, natural oils are removed from the hide. If these natural
oils are not replaced, the leather will become stiff and unusable.
Neatsfoot Oil, when applied during tanning and periodically
thereafter, lubricates the leather fibers and waterproofs the
leather.
For the ultimate
in leather protection and pliability, try Mink Oil. The fatty acid
composition of mink oil is unlike that of any other oil. The high
levels palmitoleic acid leads to an oil which performs as a great
emollient. This gives the leather the maximum in softness,
flexibility and waterproofing. Although some petroleum products have
been used in leather softening applications, none of them have the
emolliency and lubricity that is naturally found in Mink
Oil.
Peacock Tallows
and Stearines are excellent stuffing compounds. The manufacturing
process allows for the most consistent tallows and stearines
available. We are able to take out the seasonal and geographic
variations that are inherently found in these types of products.
This consistency allows you to remove one more uncertainty from your
manufacturing
process. |
