Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9606953A1] A pretreatment method in the tanning process for modifying the properties of a hide of skin of an animal is disclosed in which the pretreatment step comprises contacting the hide or skin with a pickling solution formed from a pickling agent which comprises at least one or more of phenol mono-, di- or trisulphonic acid or derivatives thereof, either singly or in combination, including combinations with other materials, which treatment is effective at a final pH of or below 3.4, and there is even penetration of the pickling solution into the hide or skin without swelling taking place in the absence of added salt. The advantage of the pickling solution and method of treatment as described is that a low salt content effluent is produced.
