The processing of skins into leather has been a tradition for thousands of years. Thanks to state-of-the-art technology, the unique aesthetics, characteristics and natural beauty of the end product are now being fully appreciated.
Our close ties to the leather industry combined with our promise of the highest quality have resulted in a product range that meets the current market requirements and continuously evolves with the growing demands.
Whether surfactants, tanning agents, fatliquoring agents or special auxiliaries – the leather sector includes all the chemical tools needed to turn the raw skin into a crust according to your specifications. The scope of possible applications ranges from highly technical automotive leather to fashionable shoe and clothing leather up to the classic handbags and gallantry items.

The Zschimmer & Schwarz range of surfactants has many uses. Their strong emulsifying and degreasing properties as well as their excellent wetting and dispersing properties make them ideal auxiliaries for soaking, the degreasing of all raw materials that are heavy in natural grease as well as the re-wetting of intermediately dried crust leathers.
Grain, fullness and area yield are terms that the tanner is dealing with on a daily basis. As the quality of raw materials is getting worse and worse, the balance between the different skins is becoming more and more important. Our wide range of mineral, synthetic, vegetable and polymer-based tanning agents allows for a constant production of all types of leather while meeting specific requirements.
Due to the lubrification of the fibre, fatliquoring agents ensure the maintenance of physical properties. In addition to the tanning agents, they have a very large influence on the characteristics of the final product. With the right choice and combination, features such as lightfastness, heat stability, fogging behaviour, water repellency and breathability can be controlled in a targeted manner.
Under the heading "Specialities", you will find all non-everyday auxiliaries with special properties: they prevent such things as the formation of chromium VI or reduce odours that are created inside the beamhouse on wet blue leather.

Surfactants are indispensable auxiliaries when it comes to soaking, the degreasing of all raw materials that are heavy in natural grease as well as the re-wetting of intermediately dried crust leathers. Their special emulsifying and degreasing properties as well as their unique wetting and dispersing properties provide the desired effect. The Zschimmer & Schwarz product portfolio has a large selection of surfactants for a wide variety of uses.
In the optimal processing of hides, the tanner has to take into account varying characteristics, such as grain tightness, fullness and area yield. Zschimmer & Schwarz offers a wide range of tanning agents for this purpose: mineral, synthetic, vegetable and polymer-based tanning agents guarantee reliable production – even with a very different quality of delivered raw hides.
Fatliquoring agents have a major impact on the quality of the final product. Therefore, the right choice and the perfect combination are crucial to specifically influence properties such as light fastness, heat stability, water repellency and breathability. Fatliquoring agents provide the preservation of the physical fastness properties by lubrificating the fibre.
Non-everyday auxiliaries with specific properties are so-called "specialities". They perform essential tasks, such as reducing odours that occur in the beamhouse on wet blue leather, or specifically counteracting the formation of chromium VI.
