The tanning affects the properties of the leather e.g. in terms of strength and weight of the leather. A distinction is made between chrome tanning, vegetable tanning, tanning with synthetic tanning agents, tanning with minerals (aluminum, zirconium, iron, titanium and chrome) and tanning with oil. The tanning agent and the properties of the leather can be used to identify the tanning agent.
