What are Tan Cystals Made Of?

While the general chemical make-up is similar to basic aluminum sulfate BuckTan Crystals, modern tanning crystals like Arrowhead utilize aluminum sulfate and other agents to cure raw hides into finished leather. The added synthetic agent ensures hides stay supple yet durable after curing and tanning. This aluminum process is more consistent and allows for customized tanning properties to suit your needs.
