Since
its inception in 1948, Chemtan Company Inc. has been involved exclusively
with leather, offering a large line of specialty and commodity chemicals
to the leather tanning industry. The Company has built a staff of qualified
technicians, drawing on personnel with practical tannery backgrounds and
those trained in the formal disciplines of chemistry and chemical engineering.

The Chemtan aminoaldehyde tanning resins were an American export to the world and the forerunners in the success of retanning chrome leather with synthetic compounds rather than with chrome and vegetable tannins. These patented inventions were first marketed as Chemtan R-4 and Chemtan R-6.
Chemtan is highly involved in the production of "specification leathers," upholstery, water resistant, perspiration resistant, chemical resistant, soil resistant, light and rub resistant, oiled off and low density leathers. The Exeter laboratory regularly conducts technical schooling for customers from all over the world to familiarize them with basic leather chemistry as well as with new developments.
| Chemtan maintains laboratories, experimental tanning facilities and business offices at our headquarters in Exeter, New Hampshire, and in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. |  |
Chemtan services the worldwide tanning industry with a complete network of technically qualified agents who are assisted by our own experienced technicians. Chemtan is represented in Mexico by hela Chemicals.
