Through the columns of hides produced various types of leather. Cowhides for example are approximately five to ten millimeters thick, it can be grain leather and split leather win. The split leather is rough on both sides and usually 1.2 mm thick. Through tanning and technical equipment arising from split leather functional leather: Leather heat protection are extremely heat-resistant, flame-resistant and hardly shrink.

Water and oil repellent leather can be achieved by appropriate impregnation.

 Advantages:

• Good mechanical abrasion
• Rough surface
• Good grip in wet and oily parts
• Good insulation in the lower and medium temperature range
• High resistance to flying sparks and weld spatter

The uppermost layer of animal skin is referred to as grain leather. It is very high quality, strong and technically strong. Initially hair was embedded in the top of the grain leather, it is closed and smooth. The underside of the grain leather on the other hand is rough. Its thickness varies between 0.8 and more than 3 mm. Through tanning and technical equipment arising from grain leather functional leather. Heat resistant leather are extremely heat-resistant, flame-resistant and hardly shrink. Water and oil repellent leather can be achieved by appropriate impregnation.

Advantages:

• Very high mechanical abrasion
• Festivals and textured surface
• Good grip
• High resistance to oils and greases
• Good puncture protection for small and medium parts
