Råhudar
Råhudar, also known as "raw hides," are the unprocessed, dried skins of animals, typically cattle, sheep, or goats. They are a fundamental material in the leather industry, serving as the primary source for producing leather. The process of converting råhudar into leather involves several stages, including soaking, liming, bating, and tanning. Soaking removes hair and impurities, while liming and bating prepare the hide for tanning, which involves treating it with tannins to make it resistant to decay and water. The resulting leather can be further processed through various methods, such as dyeing, finishing, and embossing, to achieve the desired texture, color, and durability. Råhudar are essential in the production of a wide range of leather goods, from footwear and clothing to furniture and accessories. The quality of råhudar significantly influences the final product's appearance, durability, and environmental impact, making it a critical component in the leather industry.
