The aim of this study was to determine the effect of combination chrome and mangrove bark crude extract on tanned Epinephelus sp. skin. The results showed that the best grouper skin was tanned on 8% tanner extract. which was demonstrated a tensile strength value by 228.91 kgf/cm2, tear strength by 23.43 kgf/cm, elongation by 24.03%, and shrinkage temperature by 55.23° C. This studied promised application of mangrove extract could replace chrome as tanned agent for greenly method.
