chrome retan
A process in leather manufacture in which the
skins are tanned throughout their thickness by the
chrome process and, subsequently, are further
treated with vegetable and/ or synthetic agents.
The retanning agents penetrate the skin deeply,
but do not necessarily penetrate throughout the
skin. See also: SEMI-CHROME TANNAGE .
