More Details

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.

BLC can help with all your chemical testing needs. For further details of our chemical testing contact info@blcleathertech.com or +44 (0) 1604 679999
