Our stretched leather combines robustness and aesthetics with a high resistance to elongation!
Characteristics of Boyoma chocolate stretch leather :
Boyoma black stretched saddle leather is designed for the manufacture of horse saddle stirrups and grith straps . It is a full-grain, unpressed, uncorrected leather with a smooth grain. The leather isdouble-tanned at and retanned in mineral at , then reworked in the wet and positioned on frames. Under tension, it minimizes its elasticity and elongation, and increases its absorption of direct stress without altering its tensile strength. This leather benefits from a aniline finish which preserves the natural appearance of the leather. The aniline finish consists in applying a thin, transparent layer without altering the texture of the leather. It is nourished throughout with a tallow bath (a mixture of paraffin and beef fat), more commonly known as " tallow leather". This fat bath nourishment makes the leather easier to cut and work with, as well as increasing its resistance to water. Tallow provides maintenance-free leather, as the grease is constantly applied to the surface of the leather, giving it the nourishment it needs and an excellent patina. Thanks to this nourishment, Boyoma saddle leather is highly resistant to outdoor use, rejecting any external disturbance (water / salty environment). This makes Boyoma saddle leather suitable for intensive wear and tear, such as in the equestrian sector.
Our tests show that leather elongation over 1000 stretching cycles at 75 Kg is less than 6%. In addition, a 25mm wide, 4.5mm thick strap has a breaking strength of over 360 Kg, the average being 450 Kg.
Origin and traceability of Boyoma chocolate stretch leather :
chocolate Boyoma leather fromtargeted livestocks from beef or bulls originating in France, Germany, Spain or Italy. To ensure the quality of the leather used in its production, a leather traceability process has been implemented at Radermecker Tannery. The hides are marked 3 times with 3 identifiers at each stage: on receipt of the hides, enabling traceability of the origin of the hides; during the tanning process; during the finishing process. Traceability covers sourcing, drum, finishing and associated quality testing.
Uses for Boyoma chocolate stretch leather :
chocolate Boyoma leather is used to réalization stirrups and grith straps for horse saddles.
Dimensions and hide area of Boyoma chocolate stretch leather :
chocolate Boyoma leather is one-third butt. The butt is one of the thickest and firmest areas of hide . The flanks, shoulder and all extremities have been removed. The butt is considered the noblest part of the leather. This area has no primer and can therefore be cut in any direction. This area is used in particular for parts requiring greater strength.
We offer 2 sizes in 4.5/5mm thickness:
- Length (L) 130cm - surface area from 0.50 to 0.70m² with a width (W) greater than 35cm.
- Length (L) 150cm - surface area from 0.71 to 0.90m² with a width (W) greater than 35cm.
Care instructions for Boyoma chocolate stretch leather :
Thanks to tallow bath feeding, the fat is impregnated throughout the entire thickness of the stretched Boyoma saddle leather , so there's no need to feed over time. Food can be added to the bloom to maintain its greasy appearance or accelerate the leather's patina. This care of the grain ensures a longer life. Our Boyoma saddle leather will resist humidity. Simply leave to dry at room temperature to restore its appearance. Because it is fed in a tallow bath (grease), temperature shocks can cause a whitish film of paraffin to form. Simply rub it off.
