Most belts sold in the world are made from leather, and most of them are made of thick, solid cow hide. Cow hide is stable and available in sufficient quantities.
Cowhide leather is the best for all types of bags because of its durability, elegant look, strength, softness, flexibility, and patina development.
Drying techniques include samming, setting, hang drying, vacuum drying, toggle drying and paste drying.
Sodium chloride (NaCl) is commonly used as a curing/preservative agent for raw hides and skins in tanneries and is removed through a soaking process with total dissolved solids (TDS) and other organic pollutants in effluent, causing significant pollution load to the environment.
