With a background in the tanning industry, Tantech Pty Ltd was established to develop and market a specialty detergent for washing and conditioning Medical Sheepskins, as prescribed by the Australian Standard- AS4480.1. The Gold Standard for Medical Sheepskin, identified as AS4480.1, was developed by scientists at the CSIRO- the Australian Government research institute.

       

The Australian Medical Sheepskin was developed to enable medical sheepskins to be washed at 80°C. Hospital & aged care laundries need this temperature for sheepskin sterilization. Where high temperature washing is not possible, such as domestic washing, a detergent is needed to sterilise the sheepskin chemically. Woolskin meets both of these requirements.

WOOLSKIN washes and disinfects the wool and leather. Woolskin also washes and disinfects alpaca, mohair, cashmere as well as cotton.

Woolskin contains a special blend of melaleuca and tea tree oil (well known natural oils)  that have antimicrobial and anti-fungal properties. The Wool Research Organisation of New Zealand (WRONZ), found Woolskin is effective against dust mites; killing and removing them. The detergent, which is pH neutral, does not cause skin irritation for people who are sensitive to normal washing detergents.
