Restricted Substance Testing

Chemical testing of substances in leather is a specialist task due to the complex nature of the substrate. Only a chemical testing laboratory with a comprehensive understanding of leather and restricted chemical testing can provide this support.

The key toxic substances that could be found in leather are:

Azo Dye testing
Chrome Vl testing
Formaldehyde testing
Heavy Metals (lead, cadmium, chromium, arsenic, antimony, mercury, barium, selenium)
Nonyl Phenol Ethoxylates (NPEO)
Chlorinated Phenols
Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) testing
Fungicides (incorrect use)

BLC is aware those compounds that should be avoided, along with the appropriate limits and test methods.Our aim is to provide chemical testing results within 3-5 days of receipt of samples.
