Chrome Tan Leather

Chrome (chromium) tanned leather is one of the most common types of tanning. It refers to the chromium used in the tanning process. It's a popular method of tanning because it's quicker than vegetable tanning and results in a softer, more pliable leather. Chrome tanning is a relatively new approach, dating back to 1858, as tanneries looked for ways to expedite the process and save money and can take as little as two weeks to process and costs considerably less than vegetable tanning.
