Articoli > Articoli clonati > 7 (Casualty hides)

Basically casualty hides are cattle hides not slightered, but from natural death.


Are these hides used for leather production?       
Normally yes. They will be graded after damp blue tanning. This is the first era that buyer can see the result of the GRAIN. Hides can have (but must not) have grain defects. These grain defected hides can be used for buffing, embossed and printed leathers.

One customer told me the taking into account. Is it valid?     
"Causalty hides have a called selection of C lonesome and not A/B.
Please establish this as nobody can come to an agreement this selection A/B for casualty hides."
What client said is WRONG !!! Because ........ yes he is right that casualty hides can be (but must not) of demean environment. With the description of damp salted CASUALTY cattle hides all buyer knows that these are casualty hides and no uphill to period-fortunate hides from regular slaughtherhouse killing. Our indicted selection following 80 % A, 20 % B is the linked as for allowable regulary hides. That means of defects once holes, cuts ... = defects these are visual in that raw (wet salted) condition. Casualty hides can have grain defects, but this can be visual and no-one else after wet blue tanning process. But we sell in raw (wet salted) and not in wet blue.
For your choice recommendation:  Casualty hides are from animals that were NOT killed in slaughterhouse. These animals died on the order of the pasture or in the stable of the farmer. Then the dead body comes taking into account hours of daylight or some hours at the forefront-thinking to a special slaughterhouse and remove the hides from the body by robot (= machine flayed). But animals were NOT killed in any slaughterhouse, but died upon natural habit at farmers place.
But as well as the prices in checking account of regulary hides to casualty hides .... casualty hides are app. 30  50 % cheaper. So considering the descrption of wet salted CASUALTY cattle hides each tanner knows what it is and what he can manufacture from such hides.
