Abstract

Tanning is a process done to change raw skin into more stable tanned leather. Combination tanning is done in two stages. The first stage uses mineral materials followed by vegetable materials. The objectives of this study was to find out the effect of the combination of chrome tanner and Rhizopora sp. bark extract on the tanned leather of parrotfish. The results of this study indicated that the best tanning in parrotfish leather is at the concentration of 2 % chromium and 6% mangrove . The results showed of tensile strength, tear strength, elongation, and shrinkage temperature of 150.05 kgf/cm2, 30.55kgf/cm, 26.88, and 72.55°C, respectively.
