Currently, it is unthinkable without the use of special enzyme preparations at the initial stages of tanning hides during their soaking, which ensure better leaching of carbohydrates from the collagen structure of the leather tissue, as well as soluble proteins and lipids.
Some enzyme preparations from the Lowenstein company have become quite famous, for example Elbro SR, which contains a whole complex of substances necessary for the processing of fur and fur raw materials, as well as fur velor: from protease, amylase, lipase, the concentrations of which are specially balanced for these purposes. The best processing results with Elbro SR are achieved at a pH level in the range from 2.8 to 2.9 units.
Application of enzymes in pickling solution It is often used when dressing hides and makes it possible to increase both the softness of the processed hides and, by significantly reducing their weight, to improve the characteristics obtained during the tanning stage. Typically, the dosage in the solution for pickling hides is in the range from 1 to 2 g/l, although these values can vary significantly and depend on various factors: the characteristics of the technological cycles, the characteristics of the equipment used, the materials used and, of course, the quality of the processed raw materials. It is also important to know that an excessive increase in the concentration of enzymes can lead to increased looseness and odoriness of the skin tissue, especially in its thin areas.
In the process of dressing various types of skins, pickling plays an important role. Fur raw materials processed using modern technologies are distinguished by significant softness and high plasticity, which is achieved by the ratio of important characteristics during pickling - temperature, concentration of acid (or mixture of acids) and neutral salts, the presence of which is almost inevitable. all main stages of manufacturing.
When the dermis is treated with acids, intermolecular bonds are split into finer components, mucopolysaccharides are washed out, proteins are removed - this leads to increased elasticity of the fibers and increased softness.
Despite the firmly established opinion that the use of stronger acids and with a higher concentration for a stronger effect will give softer and more elastic leather fabric of high quality, it is currently considered very outdated. In a number of modern technologies, pickling is successfully used when tanning hides with organic acids with a relatively low concentration and a longer processing time, and at relatively low temperatures.
The use of mineral acids in pickling hides The choice of acid for pickling hides is of great importance during their dressing; one of their main characteristics is their affinity for collagen in leather tissue.
The higher the affinity of the acids used (such acids include mineral acids) when tanning hides, the less the acid will be able to penetrate into the very depths of the fibers, interacting and loosening them significantly only on its surface. Thus, a “surface effect” of pickling hides arises In addition, mineral acids can affect both peptide bonds and side bonds in the main structure of collagen, which often causes a deterioration in one of the very important properties - the strength of the leather tissue of the treated skins.
The use of organic acids in modern tanning of hides.The main distinctive feature of the properties of organic acids in the tanning of hides is their much lower affinity (in comparison with mineral acids) for the collagen of leather tissue. Therefore, during the processing of raw materials, they penetrate into the very depths of the fibers, exerting a gentle effect on lateral bonds and the separation of protein and carbohydrate bonds, removal of mucopolysaccharides and leaching of dissolved proteins from the fiber structure.
Direct changes in the penetration ability of certain acids with skin tissue collagen:
sulfuric acid H2SO4 -> hydrochloric acid HCl -> formic acid -> glycolic acid -> lactic acid -> acetic acid H2COO.
The relatively higher level of acid-base balance during pickling with the use of organic acids also results in an increase in basicity during tanning, which provides a better bond of the tanning agent in a much greater depth, which also increases the softness of the tanned hides.
For the preparation of sheepskin skins, the best results are achieved using formic acid, because it has the smallest molecular weight and good penetrating ability. And among organic acids it has the most active properties. Formic acid positively changes the structure of collagen without reducing the strength of the skin tissue itself. In a solution when tanning hides, it has a slight masking effect in relation to the lame tanning agent solution. For the tanning of fur skins, lactic and glycolic acids, which have masking properties, have the best properties to a much greater extent.
A number of modern technological schemes for tanning hides use special fatliquoring materials.This gives a better distribution of acid in the structure of the leather tissue of the skins. Not all fats are capable of interacting in the structure of the leather tissue with its fat, therefore only fatliquor preparations specially designed for this purpose are suitable for this purpose. It is known that it is distributed extremely unevenly over the entire area skins. Most of it is located on the ridge and neck; fat greatly prevents the penetration of acid and other substances during dressing. Therefore, more heavily oiled areas may remain harder after dressing. However, most often for these purposes, a small amount is added to the working solution at the pickling stage surfactants - the so-called surfactants. The drug Wetter HAC has good properties for these purposes; this surfactant, in addition to the usual wetting properties, has the ability to have a good effect on the natural fat of the raw material, thereby increasing the penetration of acid into the structure of the leather tissue. It is quite stable in salt solutions, even at low pH values and temperatures, which is considered an extremely important characteristic at this stage of hide production.
High-quality, fully pickled hides carried out approximately 24 hours after its start, although to achieve a more uniform pickling of the hides, a longer time is often necessary, so the curing process of the hides plays an important role in the dressing process. It is determined by the bromocresol green indicator.
Curing of hides contributes to obtaining higher quality pickled skins during dressing and, as a result, produces softer leather fabric of tanned raw materials. Depending on the use of various technological processes, as well as on the characteristics of the properties of different types of raw materials, the duration of the curing process can also be different. For example, during dressing For mouton, the curing time can be from 24 to 48 hours, while the curing time for skins when making velor can even reach 5 days.
The pickling process involves treating fur skins with a solution consisting of acid and sodium chloride. If the previous processes (soaking and degreasing) can be classified as preparatory operations, then pickling is the main dressing process, which results in a change in the structure and properties of collagen proteins and partially keratins. When making products from semi-finished fur, special requirements are imposed on it - it must have high ductility and ductility. This means that when stretched in the longitudinal and transverse directions, the skin should easily deform. This phenomenon is called stretching. Stretching is of great importance when curing skins, when it is necessary to remove certain defects. Due to the plastic properties of leather fabric, eliminating defects does not affect the appearance of the semi-finished fur product. During the treatment of skins with a pickel solution, the dermal fibers are separated into smaller structural elements, the ability of the fibers to bond is reduced, and the entire system becomes more mobile and plastic.
At the same time, during pickling, partial preservation of proteins occurs, the leather tissue acquires a slightly acidic reaction, and thus prepares for the normal conduct of the subsequent process - tanning. During pickling, dehydration of the leather tissue and its compaction also occur. When skin proteins interact with acid, a chemical reaction occurs between the acid and the active groups of the protein. If we represent protein in general terms by the formula
then when interacting with an acid the following reaction will occur
The absorption of acid by skin proteins causes an increase in its volume. This phenomenon is called gluttony. To avoid fat, skins are treated with acid in the presence of sodium chloride. The pickling effect is reversible, that is, if the pickled skin is immersed in water, then sodium chloride is washed out of it faster than acid, and gluttony may occur. Thus, during pickling, the following phenomena occur: interaction of active groups of proteins with acid; separation of structural elements (fibers) into smaller ones; dehydration and thickening of skin tissue; partial preservation of proteins. As a result of this, the leather fabric of the fur skin acquires a valuable property - stretching and is prepared for the subsequent tanning process.
Factors influencing pickling performance. The pickling process is influenced by the microstructure of the skin, the nature and concentration of acid and salt, g. k., pickling duration and temperature.
Skin microstructure. It has been established that different topographic areas of the skin, having different thickness and density, absorb different amounts of acid and salt. Loose areas absorb acid faster and in greater quantities than dense areas. When processing fur skins, the proteins of not only the leather tissue, but also the hair, interact with the acid. In this regard, the pickling mode should be set in each specific case, depending on the condition of the skin tissue and hair.
For pickling, sulfuric, acetic and formic acids are mainly used. Based on scientific research and practical experience, it has been established that when skins are treated with organic acids (in particular, formic acid), the leather tissue becomes looser, softer and more flexible, and the hair becomes silky and shiny. In addition, a better yield of hide area is obtained; this can be explained by the fact that organic acids are more slowly and gradually absorbed by the skin tissue.
Pickling control. When carrying out pickling, the acid and salt content in the working solution is controlled. To control the pickling level of the semi-finished product, a test is sometimes done, which is usually called a dryer. The skin is folded and pressed with fingers at the bend. The formation of a characteristic white stripe caused by dehydration of the semi-finished product indicates that it has been sufficiently pickled. In addition, a well-pickled semi-finished product has stretch and some roughness of the leather fabric.
But if you raise sheep, then throwing away their skins is simply wasteful. Therefore, it makes sense to learn how to dress hides, at least for yourself. Let's look at the theory, and practice is up to you.
Preservation of hides
If the skins are not going to be processed immediately after removal, they must be preserved. This can be done in two ways:
- wet salted;
- dry salt method.
Wet salted method
The sheepskin is laid out in a dry, cool, shaded place without direct sunlight. For preservation you need:
- place the skin with the flesh side up;
- straighten so that there are no folds;
- spread a thick layer of salt evenly over it;
- leave for three days,
- if everything is absorbed, then pour salt again, fold and roll the skin;
- after three days, unwrap the skin and let the phlegm drain;
- then fold and roll again.
By repeating these operations, in eight to ten days the skin will be salted. The purpose of this operation is to prevent the spread of germs and fur loss.
Before rolling the skin, it must be folded with the flesh inward in this way:
- the upper part is bent by a quarter;
- the side parts - towards the middle and also a quarter;
- the skin is folded along the ridge;
- they begin to roll from the neck;
- the resulting bundle is tied with a rope.
Skins preserved by wet-salting are considered the best preparations.
Dry salted method
The initial operations are the same as with the wet-salted method. Naphthalene can be added to salt to repel various pests.
After sprinkling the skins with salt, they are stacked. After a couple of days they begin to dry unrolled. They are hung on poles along the ridge line.
Dry on both sides. First, the inside side up, and then the fur side out. The initial temperature should not exceed twenty degrees. Before drying is completed, the heating temperature is adjusted to thirty degrees. Skins should not be dried in direct sunlight.
Instructions for preserving hides
- To avoid loss of strength of the skins, they should not be stretched.
- When scattering salt for preservation, distribute it evenly over the entire area of the skin.
- Dry and store them in a shaded place. Otherwise it will become a stake and crack.
- When storing, they need to be constantly checked, ventilated, and the fur tugged. If he starts to climb, the skin will soon deteriorate. In this case, the salting procedure must be repeated.
- It is not advisable to store canned skins for more than six months.
Stages of dressing
The skins of any animal go through the same stages during dressing.
When dressing the skin, the following stages go through:
- soaking or soaking;
- fleshing;
- degreasing;
- pickling;
- tanning;
- fat;
- drying.
Soak
The composition of the brine for soaking is as follows:
The readiness of the skin is determined by the absence of hard areas on the skin. It should become soft over the entire area of the skin.
After soaking, the skin is laid out on a flat surface and scraped along the inside. To do this, use the blunt side of a knife, a scraper, or a staple.
Remove remaining fat, films and fiber.
Degreasing
To degrease thin skins, a soap solution or a solution of washing powder at the rate of three and a half grams per liter of water at room temperature is sufficient.
For the skin of a fattened animal, you will have to prepare a special solution.
After waiting for half an hour, rinse them well in cool water. They squeeze it out. They hit the fur with a stick. The flesh is dried with rags and rags.
Pickling
Pickling means “pickle” in English. Indeed, for this procedure, a solution is prepared similar to a marinade for homemade pickles.
If the skin is not intended to be used for clothing or direct contact with humans in the future, then you can leave it as is. If they want to sew something from sheepskin, then the pickel solution is neutralized.
Recipe for neutralizing solution.
This operation reduces the strength of the tanned skin, but it will not cause allergies.
The pickling process is considered complete when it is well washed in running water.
Tanning
At home, plants containing tannin are used for tanning. These include willow and oak bark. Oak bark gives light skins a red tint. If you want to keep the hide white, use willow bark.
The tanning solution is prepared in two stages.
- Preparation of the decoction.
- Preparation of tanning solution.
Impregnation with tanning solution continues for two days. The end of the tanning process can be determined by the cut. Examine a small section of skin through a magnifying glass. Uniformity of color indicates the end of the process.
To enhance the tanning effect, you can add horse sorrel root in the form of a decoction to the solution.
Chromium alum can be used for tanning.
The readiness of the skin is checked, as in the previous case.
The skin is dried for two days. Then neutralization is carried out as described above. If not the entire skin was dipped into the solution, but only the inner skin was coated, then neutralization does not need to be carried out.
After this, the skin is washed well in running water. To improve the quality of the fur, it can be washed with shampoo. Only wash one fur, without touching the inside. Otherwise she will be tough.
Zhirovka
After this operation, the skin becomes elastic. It involves coating the insides with a fat emulsion. Before carrying out this procedure, the skin must be stretched.
Emulsion recipe
The grated soap is poured with water. Cook over low heat until the soap dissolves. Pork fat is added in small portions. After cooling the mixture a little, add ammonia.
Coat the flesh with the emulsion. Be careful not to get it on the fur. After coating, fold the skins skin side to side. If you accidentally stain the fur, you can clean it with gasoline.
Drying
To dry the skin you need a temperature of 30 degrees. During the drying process, it must be kneaded and stretched frequently. This makes it softer. When the skin begins to dry out and dry marks begin to appear, then the skin should be stretched a little and the inside should be cleaned with pumice. The drying process usually lasts for three days.
It is convenient to tan skins in batches. That’s why their proper preservation is so important.
This completes the process of tanning sheep skins.
The process of tanning hides using the pickling method involves the action of aqueous solutions of various acids on the skin. The skin of a degreased and soaked hide usually consists of many bundles of fibers that are tightly woven together. If you take a section of the skin of a skin that has been tanned and examine it with a microscope, you can see that these bundles are split into many thin individual fibers, and the higher the degree of looseness and softness of the leather tissue that makes up the skin, the higher the degree of splitting of these data bunches. A similar result can be achieved using a pickle solution, which at the same time removes excess substances from the hide that can glue the fibers together during subsequent drying.
There are many recipes by which pickle solutions can be made, but they all rely on the same principle of creation. Pickel is a solution of acid (one or a whole series) and table salt in different concentrations in water. If we consider inorganic acids, then hydrochloric or sulfuric acid is most often used to prepare pickel, and among organic acids, acetic acid is most often chosen, and a little less often - lactic and formic. Skins that are treated with these acids are able to retain their good properties for an extremely short time, since after the pickling process, acid remains in the thickness of the skin, which over time corrodes the inner core. The deterioration of the skin occurs especially intensively in conditions of too high air humidity. The strength of the skin gradually decreases, the degree of its elasticity and softness decreases. If strong inorganic acids were used, the color of the coat may even change - the hair gradually turns brown, becomes duller, as if burnt out, and the shine and natural beauty of the fur disappear. It is for this reason that after the pickling process using inorganic strong acids, a neutralization procedure is immediately carried out, however, it is almost impossible to completely neutralize all acid residues in the thickness of the skin.
Organic acids, in particular the most accessible of them, acetic acid, act much more gently and make it possible to obtain skins that have good elasticity, which will last for quite a long time.
Composition of acetic acid pickel: you need to take “glacial” (concentrated) acetic acid in an amount of 10-40 ml, a little table salt (35-45 g) and dissolve it in one liter of water. If it is not possible to get concentrated acid, then you can take food grade 70% acid (acetic essence) in an amount of 30-50 ml per liter of water.
The significant variation in the amount of acetic acid for preparing the solution is explained by the fact that the skins of different animals may require different concentrations of the solution for pickling. It depends on how dense and thick the leather tissue of the hide is. For example, to pickle the skins of gophers, hares and other animals that have loose, thin skin, you can use a solution with a low concentration - 10-15 ml per liter of water. For the skins of raccoon dogs, ferrets, jackals and other fur-bearing animals with medium-thick skin, as well as young deer and roe deer, you need to prepare a solution using about 20-30 ml of acetic acid per liter of water. If you are going to pickle the thick skin of a bear, wolf, wild boar, or elk, then you will have to prepare the most concentrated solution - it should contain at least 30-40 ml per liter of water. All volumes given refer to acetic acid with the highest concentration. If food grade acid is used, then you need to multiply all the numbers given by about 1.3 or 1.2. Small deviations in dosage are quite acceptable and will not have too strong an effect on the skin, slightly changing the time that the skin will need to spend in the pickle.
The entire pickling process should be carried out in plastic, enamel or wooden containers that are not prone to oxidation.
Washed and degreased skins should be immersed in a pickle at room temperature. The amount of solution should exceed the mass of paired skins by at least three times, that is, for one kilogram of skins you need to take at least three liters of solution, and preferably around five to seven. The skins should float freely in the solution. Pickling time usually ranges from five hours to four days, depending on how dense and thick the leather tissue is. If the skin of hares, gophers and other animals with loose, thin skin is processed, then 5-15 hours is usually sufficient. Skins of animals with skin of medium thickness, that is, jackals, raccoon dogs, roe deer, young deer, etc. require from 12 to 40 hours. For the thickest skins of bear, elk, wolf, and wild boar, the time can range from one and a half to four days. The readiness of the skin is recognized by the presence of a “dryer”. To check, the corner of the skin, folded in four layers with the flesh facing out, must be strongly compressed. If, after straightening the skin, a whitish cross remains at the point of compression and remains for at least half a minute - the so-called “drying mark”, then the skin is already ready and can be removed from the solution for further processing.
The skins removed from the pickel should be lightly squeezed and allowed to rest for 10-12 hours, folded skin to skin. During this period of time, the hides will be finally treated with residual acid, which will penetrate into the densest and thickest areas of the skin. After the curing process is completed, the skin can already be considered tanned.
Hare skins, on which subcutaneous films remained, muskrat skins, as well as skins of animals with dense thick skin (bear, elk, wolf, wild boar), in order to ensure complete processing, can be pickled using a stepwise method. To do this, the skins are first immersed in a fairly weak pickel (10 ml of acid and 40 g of salt per liter of water), after a few hours, acid is added to this solution, actively stirring it, 10 ml per liter of solution. After a few more hours, this procedure is repeated again and pickling is carried out until the skins are completely ready, that is, until a “drying” appears.
Skins with thick flesh can also be softened during stepwise pickling. To do this, a few hours after pickling, you can add fresh bread kvass to the solution in an amount of approximately 400 ml per kilogram of skins. The softening time should be about two hours, during which the skins need to be stirred. The further process is no different from the scheme described above. The result will be tanned hides that are lighter and significantly more elastic, although their area will be reduced by about 3-4%.
Well-defatted light skins with thin skin can be pickled using the spread method. To do this, you need to prepare a pickle of medium concentration and apply it using a bristle brush, a brush or a cloth swab, fold it tightly, skin to skin, in a stack or roll it into a roll, making sure that the skin and fur do not touch each other, and leave it like that for one and a half to two hours to lie down. This cycle needs to be repeated about two or three times, and then checked for the presence of “drying”. As soon as the “drying” appears, the skins should be left to sit for another 5-6 hours.
Before bringing it to us for dressing, remove the FAT and MEAT from the skins, and then salt the skins with 2 packs of fine salt and put them NOT in a plastic bag. Then your skins will be perfect!
Fur is obtained in different ways: hunting, breeding, purchasing, etc. However, in order for these skins to realize your ideas, they need to be tanned. Our factory provides dressing services. We have been serving both individuals and taxidermy studios for 40 years. The quality of the skins processed by us allows us to create not only taxidermy products from them, but are also perfect for tailoring.

For those who obtain their fur by hunting, we recommend taking a look at the “Tips” section. Remember, the quality of the skins depends not only on us, but also on you!
Skins are accepted for dressing in raw-salted, fresh-salted and dry form.
The cost of dressing hides and fur
Changes have been made to dressing prices:
- 1st column - for fresh-dry and raw-salted skins, fat-free according to GOST;
- 2nd column - for skins with fat, meat, bones, cartilage, without salt or frozen;
This measure was introduced due to the fact that the supplied raw materials are not properly processed, which increases the manufacturing process, the cost of time and chemicals.

Factory dressing and processing
Humanity has always hunted. From the very moment the first weapons appeared, the first trophies appeared. Ancient people hunted not only for food; animal skins perfectly protected the body from the cold. How skins were processed in primitive times, and what production tools were used for this, is an interesting question. But let’s leave it for historians, and let’s talk about modern technologies for tanning skins.
The modern factory "Lynx" invites everyone who is partial to natural fur to cooperate. Our diversified enterprise specializes in working with the fur of fur-bearing animals. The cost of fur dressing at our factory is available to everyone who is interested in this service. High quality of work is ensured by the following characteristics in our company’s arsenal:
- Proven and reliable equipment for fur processing;
- Proven technologies for tanning hides, allowing to preserve as much as possible the quality characteristics of hide and fur;
- Our craftsmen have many years of experience in dressing and processing fur and skins;
- A well-coordinated team of professionals with different specializations.
Their future fate depends on the quality of the skins. Only elastic, soft and light skins will become a source of inspiration for designers. They are shown on the world's leading catwalks and the most famous women proudly throw them on their shoulders.
Trophies in the modern world
Hunting for men is not only entertainment and an opportunity to escape from the drabness of everyday life. Hunting is an opportunity to return home as a hunter, with a real trophy. A fur-bearing animal is a prey that you can be proud of. A properly tanned skin, be it a red fox or a fluffy raccoon, can also be an excellent gift. Products decorated with natural fur are always beautiful, stylish, elegant and warm, which is important for our climate zone. Regardless of fashion trends, at all times, cold is the main incentive for hunting fur-bearing animals and breeding them on an industrial scale.
The Lynx factory has enough capabilities to provide skinning services on an industrial scale. To maintain high quality standards and comply with modern requirements, the Lynx fur factory uses special technological processes, the observance of which is not acceptable in domestic conditions, both from the point of view of human safety and the environment. Poisoning and injury are possible, but the quality of the workmanship will still not be adequate.
It is important to understand that fur raw materials processed in an artisanal way cannot meet modern standards of quality and safety of manufactured products, and their service life is significantly lower than that of fur processed in production conditions.
What does the price consist of?
The cost of tanning hides in Malakhovka at the Lynx fur factory depends mainly on how competently the customer approached the issue of preserving the skins, whether he processed them correctly initially and how long he stored them before bringing them to the factory for dressing. The price is influenced by the type of fur raw material itself.
It is recommended to salt with natural fine salt (a couple of packets per skin), after removing fat and meat from them. It is recommended to store the skins without cellophane until delivery to the factory. Using a plastic bag significantly reduces the quality of the skin after tanning.
The difference in the cost of incorrectly preserved skins can be up to 50% of the cost of properly preserved fur raw materials.
