DuPont™ Hydrology™ Leather Tanning Science

Leather protected with Hydrology™ offers a variety of benefits, including:

  • Weather-resistant: Leather repels water - making it safe to wear even in the worst weather conditions.
  • Fast Drying: Resists water absorption and dries in half the time of conventionally tanned leather.
  • Washable/Dryable in household appliances: Convenient and easy to care for, and leather products retain their original fit (see below).
  • Colorfast: Colors don't bleed or fade as the leather becomes wet or is laundered; Color won't rub off.
  • Breathable: Leather stays soft and supple even after multiple wash-dry cycles; And, because the leather is breathable it provides excellent air moisture management and comfort.
  • Stain-and-soil-resistant: Using DuPont™ Teflon® technology, leather repels dirt, grime and water-based stains such as coffee, tea, fruit drinks, sodas and ketchup. Stains wash out easily.

For far too many years there has been an uneasy relationship between the washer/dryer and leather. Washed leather shrinks, shrivels, changes shape and color.  However, DuPont™ Hydrology™ brings a completely new spin to washing leather.

With rigorous testing, we’ve proven that leather can live a long and clean life. Consider the fact that we’ve tested leather made with DuPont™ Hydrology™ through five wash and dry cycles—60% longer than the best treated leathers available. With every cycle, leather retains its color, feel and fit memory. Less than 5% shrinkage assures original fit and suppleness.

Wear your leather no matter the weather. Wash it without fear, and wear it again. With DuPont™ Hydrology™ your favorite leather will still look, feel and fit the same.
