Need help with identifying old tanning chemicals.

Submitted by Todd on 08/15/2003. ( tddbuch at aol.com ) 152.163.252.230

I have some old tanning chemicals I bought about 20 years ago. It is a green powder chemical and I purchased it at J.W. Elwood.Way back when I took the Northwestern School of Taxidermy course. I think it is a chrome tan but was wondering what the directions for use would be? Or is it unsafe for myself or the environment for disposal?

Thanks alot,
Todd B

Check the pH first, neutralize if needed. Then call your city or county most have a waste chemical disposal unit.
