| Notes: | Label source: Report by Prof HR Procter dated 22.2.99, Leather Industries Lab The Yorkshire College Leeds 'I have submitted the sample of Borneo Cutch to a slight chemical examination, and its characterists agree with those of somewhat badly manufactu, red Ceriops (Mangrove) extract, but there are serveral other tanning materials, such for instance as the bark of Soymida febrifuge and of Acacia leucophloea, which give practically the same reactions and one cannot therefore be quite sure. The liquor gi, ven by the Borneo Cutch is very is very dark and dull coloured and it contains a great deal of matter which is insoluble in cold water. It is quite unsuitable for tanning but might be of some use to dye dull colours. I should imagine that the the extract, has probably been evaporated in iron vessels and without thr use of vacuum apparatus | ||||
