Tannic Acid

What is Tannic Acid?

Tannic Acid is a naturally occurring polyphenol, widely recognized for its astringent properties and its extensive use across various industries, including pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, and leather processing. Extracted from plant sources rich in tannins, such as oak bark, gallnuts, and other plant materials, Tannic Acid is a versatile compound with numerous functional applications.

In industry, tannic acid is widely used in tanning leather and making blue ink. Tannic acid coagulates proteins. People chemically treat raw pigskin and raw cowhide with tannic acid, which can coagulate the soluble protein in the raw hide. As a result, the raw hide, which would have rotted and rotted after a few days, turned into beautiful, clean, flexible, and durable leather.
