SAFETAN retanning products
The SAFETAN brand name reflects a group of innovative, high quality and safe retanning specialties from Smit & Zoon. These products exceed the latest standards concerning free monomers (such as formaldehyde, phenol) and all restricted substance chemicals - as mentioned in restricted substance or RSL lists.
Range philosophy
Smit & Zoon wants to be a dependable and valuable partner for tanneries and their customers. We have the ambition to supply answers to increasing challenges that tanners are facing. One of these challenges is meeting the ever increasing requirements in the field of product safety. Meeting these challenges while using existing chemicals often looks like a balancing act around the edges of safety and health requirements. The risk of producing off spec leathers is considerable.
Exceeding the latest requirements
The introduction of SAFETAN products will make a genuine difference. Smit & Zoon R&D uses innovative chemical technologies to develop products that exceed the latest requirements in the leather industry by far. The use of SAFETAN products will enable the tanner to produce safe leathers without balancing acts or quality compromises. It ensures a healthy future for both the tanner as the end user of the final luxury article.
