ALUMINIUM SALTS AND NERADOL require practically the same basicity and acidity respectively, and when combined always yield a leather possessing mainly the properties of one of the components.

Another disagreeable factor is the following: the chrome salts must possess a certain degree of basicity in order to produce good leather; the Neradol

D must, on the other hand, possess a certain acidity to produce the optimum results, and it is hence impossible to balance practically the basicity of the chrome salts and the acidity of the Neradol in order to justify the presence of both.
