What are Wet Blue Leathers?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Wet Blue hides<\/strong> are raw animal skins (primarily cattle, but also sheep and goats) that have undergone the first significant stage of the tanning process: chrome tanning<\/strong> . They are called “Wet Blue” due to their characteristic bluish color (a result of chromium salts) and the fact that they still retain a high level of moisture (they are “wet”).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tanning process converts raw, perishable hide into a stable, non-rotting material, ready for storage, long-distance transportation, and subsequent processing into finished leather. Chrome tanning is the most widely used method globally due to its speed, cost-effectiveness, and the production of a soft, durable, and versatile finished leather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wet Blue Process:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After the animal is slaughtered and initially preserved (salted or refrigerated), raw hides go through the following stages to become Wet Blue:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Soak<\/strong>\u00a0: To rehydrate the skin and remove dirt and salt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Shedding<\/strong>\u00a0: Removal of hair from the skin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Fleshing<\/strong>\u00a0: Removal of meat and fat residue from the grain side.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Splitting<\/strong>\u00a0: Optional. The hide can be split into layers (grain, split) at this point to create different types of leather.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Liming and Rendering<\/strong>\u00a0: Removal of chemicals from the coat and softening of the skin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Pickling<\/strong>\u00a0: Acidification of the leather to prepare it for the absorption of chromium tanning agents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Chrome tanning<\/strong>\u00a0: Immersion of the hide in chromium salts. This is where the hide acquires its blue color and stabilizes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Draining and Trimming<\/strong>\u00a0: Removing excess moisture and trimming uneven edges.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
