Historical Uses

Tannin is used in tanning animal skins to make leather; it transforms certain proteins of animal tissue into compounds that resist decomposition. It is also used in manufacturing inks, as a mordant in dyeing, and in medicine as an astringent and for treatment of burns.

Usage

Unknown so far. But as stated above, might be used to strengthen leather to make more durable leather armor.
