Hide Treatment Salt

Salting is used to cure hides and skins to prevent spoilage prior to the tanning process. Salt curing in the tanning industry includes both dry-salting and immersing hides in a brine solution. Cheetham emphasises that all hide salt is not for human or animal consumption, and it should be stored away from food.

We offer a vast array of hide curing salts that are available packed in 25kg bags up to bulk truck loads.
