Leather & Environmental Testing Laboratory
Testing of leather comprises of chemical and physical or performance tests. Since leather is a non-homogeneous material, its quality is mainly judged on the basis of performance tests. The main objective of chemical testing of leather is the qualitative / quantitative analysis of eco-sensitive chemicals, which include some banned chemical compounds like Azo dyes, pentachlorophenol etc. Hence testing if leather involves verifying its performance through various physical tests and also ascertaining that the leather is environment friendly which is done through chemical tests.
KTM Leather and Environmental Testing Laboratory realizes the importance of testing leather and all the analyses are carries out as per various accepted international standards.
