Replace Leather Chemicals with Probiotic Biochemicals

Collagen Quality Starts Earlier Than Most People Think

A common assumption is that collagen quality is determined during extraction alone. In reality, the earlier processing stages have a major influence on the final material.

Soaking, washing, liming, degreasing, and wet-end processing all affect the collagen fibers themselves. Those stages determine how clean the fibers remain, how much unwanted protein stays attached, and whether the structure of the collagen is preserved or damaged during processing.

Proviera ProLagen eliminates the need for bacteriacides, improves the quality of the collagen by-product and preserves the quality and performance of the hides being processed for leather. Learn more about the ProLagen line of wetting, dispersing and degreasing products.

We’re making leather safer, more efficient, and more sustainable

Until now, synthetic leather chemicals and solvents have been used to turn natural hides and skins into finished leather. Largely unchanged since the introduction of industrial leather making, this costly process depends on the crude oil industry and creates large amounts of waste, much of which could be reused if not for their chemical contamination.

Proviera is changing that. Our biochemicals are derived from probiotic cultures and fully renewable natural raw ingredients. They use biotechnology to naturally and effectively break down and process hides and skins for leather, helping tanners implement sustainable strategies by reducing the need for synthetic chemicals and adding value to tanning by-products.
