Maletto bark

Description

The bark from the mallet tree, Eucalyptus astringens, is high in tannins and is used on a large scale for leather production. Maletto bark contains 40 to 55% tannins with less than 8% soluble nontans. When used by itself, it produces a dark red leather and it is sometimes mixed with other tannins for softer, fuller leathers.
