Common questions
Are Kelvin Care Leather products ZDHC conformant?

Yes. Every product in the leather process range holds ZDHC Level 3, the highest conformance level of the Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals programme, and certificates travel with every order.

Are the basic chemicals tested for Chromium VI?

Yes. All five basic chemicals are both Chromium VI and SVHC tested for leather-safe use.

Do you supply an ammonium-free deliming agent?

Yes. DELIME-A is an ammonium-salt-free deliming agent, and sulphamic acid offers a second ammonia-free route. Both reduce the nitrogen load in your effluent.

Which products are APEO and NPEO free?

KELWETT-40 and NEOLON-UD are both APEO/NPEO-free soaking, wetting and degreasing agents.

Do you supply in bulk to Australian tanneries?

Yes, Australia-wide. Most products are supplied in 20–25 kg drums or sacks; tell us your volume and we will quote.
