Description
Formaldehyde is a strong reducing agent that reacts with proteins in a hide to form insoluble, stable compounds that are resistant to putrefaction. The use of formaldehyde was a standard tanning method for washable skins from sheep or lamb. It produces a strong, white, pliable, leather that is water-resistant(Kuhn 1986).
