Pit Tanning: Mimosa Elephant Solid is ideal for use in traditional pit tannages. Pit tannages are used mainly for tanning sole, harness and bridle leathers. Mimosa Elephant Solid can be dissolved to make up the initial liquor for the pit. It is also recommended to hang a bag of Mimosa Elephant Solid in the pit during tannage. Mimosa Elephant Solid slowly dissolves thereby maintaining the level of %Tans. Mimosa Elephant Solid is supplied in traditional hessian bags which allows for the Mimosa Elephant Solid to easily dissolve and dissipate.
