2: Why do Vachetta Leather become Browns?

2.2: When exposed to sunlight and UV light, natural vegetable tannins take on a suntan color, just like our pale skin under sunlight.
3: Why Vachetta Leather Develop Water Spotting?
3.1: Vachetta is pH sensitive and develops water-spotting like a litmus paper changes color.

4: How to Remove Water Spotting?
4.1: Water spotting develops from any clear liquid with a pH above 7.
4.2: Even clean tap water or rainwater will spot this pH-sensitive Vachetta.

8: What is the Holistic Leather Softening System to Prevent Cracking with Vachetta 1.2?
8.1: Vachetta 1.2 is used sequencing with Acidifier 2.0 as a rinse and continues with Hydrator 3.3 and Fatliquor 5.0 as the last wet process.
8.2: It is important to note that the above-wet process is kept at a minimum 25% moisture level in each process in transition and only allows for a complete dry after Fatliquor 5.0.
8.3: Otherwise, insufficient fat and oil content easily accelerate existing cracks when dry.
8.4: Fatliquor (fat and oil) content should be at an optimum level of 14% when dry measuring with a leather moisture meter.
9: How to Treat the Browning Effect?
9.1: Further overall lightening treatment with Vachetta 2.8 Redox (oxidation-reduction reaction) eliminates the undesirable sun tanning effect to a lighter color appearance.
10: What is the Sequence of Leather Wet Cleaning Processes?
10.1: A leather wet cleaning process is a continuous process where the leather is constantly kept at the lowest moisture level of about 25%.
10.2: This minimum moisture level is important for the leather to retain before the final fatliquoring process with Fatliquor 5.0.
10.3: Otherwise, existing cracks will accelerate, accentuate, or magnify.
10.4: The optimum fatliquor (fat and oil) moisture level should reach 14% when dry to avoid the ill effect of drying without sufficient fatliquor.
10.5: Fast drying will stiffen the leather, and slow natural drying will produce softer leather.
