LANXESS is among the few suppliers to the leather industry who have got almost all necessary chemicals for the manufacturing of leather in its product range. These are inorganic tanning agents and synthetic tanning agents, preservatives, fatliquors, dyestuffs as well as tanning- and finishing auxiliaries. A Cooperation agreement with The Dow Chemical Company, formerly Rohm and Haas Company enlarges LANXESS' product range even further.
