Renewable by design

We offer products that are 100% biodegradable and derived entirely from renewable carbon sources, replacing traditional inputs based on synthetic or fossil-derived materials.

SILOFIO PROT 98

An innovative retanning agent designed to fully or partially replace synthetic aromatic and mineral-based substances in the leather process. It enhances the physical properties and final visual appearance of the leather while reducing reliance on non-renewable resources, advancing sustainable material innovation.

SILOFIO NVG

A bio-based protein vegetable tannin with 32% tanning power. It can totally or partially replace acacia tannin, depending on the article, and maintain the same characteristics and benefits, but with significant process cost reduction.

Improving worker safety

We are reducing reliance on hazardous substances to help create safer working environments in the tanning industry.

TANPLEX FLP
A safer, powder-based alternative to sulfuric and formic acids, both of which are highly corrosive liquids that present serious handling hazards. TANPLEX FLP delivers comparable tanning performance while significantly improving safety for operators and reducing potential exposure to harmful chemicals.

UNICTAN D GEL
A specialized product designed to eliminate residues of sulfides, Chromium VI, and formaldehyde from the leather treatment process. By preventing the formation of hydrogen sulfide gas, a toxic and flammable byproduct, UNICTAN D GEL enhances workplace safety.

Reducing environmental harm

Our solutions are developed to minimize the release of hazardous substances during leather production, helping tanneries meet environmental regulations.

UNICTAN D GEL
A specialized product designed to eliminate residues of sulfides, Chromium VI, and formaldehyde from the leather treatment process. By preventing the formation of hydrogen sulfide gas, a toxic and flammable by-product, UNICTAN D GEL enhances environmental protection and compliance.
