What is Vegetable-tanned Leather

植鞣皮革是什麼

 

Vegetable tanned leather refers to the tannage, or method of tanning the cowhide into leather. It’s called “vegetable” because of the natural materials used in the tanning process like tree bark.

植鞣皮革是一種處理原皮的工藝名稱。從動物身上取下未經加工處理的皮則稱為生皮或原皮。未經處理的生皮會腐爛，經過工藝處理後的原皮則稱為革。用植物中萃取出的植物鞣劑（丹寧酸液、植物多酚等多元酚化合物）鞣製出來的頭層皮則稱為植鞣革。所以植鞣革是植物鞣料鞣製的皮革，也有人稱為樹膏皮，或寫成了樹糕皮。是人類已知的最古老的鞣製方法之一。它已經存在了幾個世紀。

一、環保性：

​

用栲膠作為主要鞣劑鞣製出來的植鞣皮革，只含純天然動植物成分，不再含有其他鞣製工藝製成的皮革含有的重金屬、苯、酚等芳香等有害成分。具有真正意義上的環保特性。

 

二、自然性：

植鞣皮鞣製完成以後，不進行塗飾。所以，皮體表面保留皮革 本身的粒面和光澤，自然古樸。其粒面保留了皮革的自然紋路。其光澤柔和通透，隨着使用，其亮度會更加柔和透亮。

 

三、穿着性：

由於製革工藝水平的提高，植鞣皮也可以做出理想的手感和優越的穿着性。其手感厚實，真皮感強。植鞣皮透氣、 吸濕性好，使用者穿着時感覺舒適。
