Abstract

Crocodile leather with its unique pattern and scarcity is regarded as a leader in the high-grade leather products industry. In order to further improve the quality of crocodile leather products, based on the Crocodylus niloticus raw hides, the trichrome-udan IV staining method, aldehyde fuchshin staining method, scanning electron microscope and polarising microscope were used to study the histology characteristics and fibre weaving of the raw hides, which provides a theoretical basis for formulating tanning scientifically and reasonably.
