A SYNERGISTIC COMPOSITION FOR SHORT TERM PRESERVATION OF RAW HIDES/SKINS AND A PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION THEREOF

摘要

Disclosed herein is a synergistic composition comprising of esters of Gallic acid and common salt. The composition finds application as low salt short term preservation of raw hides/skins in leather making. Thus, it is envisaged to have enormous application in tanning industry in order to reduce the total dissolved solids (TDS) and salinity problem significantly in the wastewater arising out of salt based preservation, for which there are no viable alternatives or treatment methods available.
