What are zeolites?

Zeolites are aluminosilicates. In other words, a type of mineral made out of aluminum, silicon and oxygen.

 

The structure of these compounds is unique, and they are completely different to any other class of tanning chemical. A synthetic zeolite can be made to possess a completely unique structure that has not yet been discovered in nature. It also means that a unique synthetic zeolite structure showing great potential as a leather chemical, which cannot be sourced in nature, can be made in a factory in a highly renewable manner.
