Leather is three-dimensional matrix possessing unique properties which makes it more comfortable for daily use. Garments made from leathers are preferred choice owing to their multifaceted properties as compared to textiles in the colder regions. In the present study, an attempt has been made to evaluate the influence of phenolic syntan and synthetic fatliquor on the sewability and physical properties of post tanned leathers. From the experimental results, it is observed that the concentration of phenolic syntan and fatliquor influences leather sewability. Optical microscopic images of leathers also show that they are more compact and tighter with higher percentage of syntan. The study provides an insight in understanding the optimum usage of post tanning chemicals for better sewing properties without affecting the leather matrix adversely.

A type of thermally expandable microspheres (TEMs) for foam coating was prepared by suspension polymerization with acrylonitrile (AN), methyl methacrylate (MMA), vinyl acetate (VAC) as shell polymer monomers and i-pentane as core foaming agent. The effects of an aqueous additive (Sodium Chloride, NaCl) on the size and distribution of TEMs, and the effects of crosslinking degree, i-pentane dosage and monomer mass ratio on the expansion property, expansion temperature and solvent-resistance of TEMs were investigated. The results showed that when the dosage of NaCl was close to the saturation solubility (30%), the dosage of crosslinking agent and alkane were about 0.09% and 7.4%, and the mass ratio of AN/MMA/VAC w rm distribution and good solvent resistance, the expansion diameter ratio was 5 times under 110~120 C, which meets the application requirements for foam coating of leather or synthetic leather.

It is significant to apply environmentally benign technology to fur processing. In this paper, subcritical extraction with n-pentane was used to dry clean mink fur and the effect on the quality of mink fur was studied. The dispersion degree of the leather fibers and the morphology of the wool fiber were characterized with SEM, the mechanical properties, shrinkage temperature and oil content left in fur were determined and analyzed. The results showed that the fibers of mink fur were well separated and no excess lipids in the fibers or on the surface of mink fur and the hair of the mink fur is not damaged. The tensile strength and elongation of mink fur show slight increase respectively, and the shrinkage temperature of mink fur that was treated by subcritical solvent was significantly increased compared with that of the mink fur treated with tetrachloroethylene by conventional dry cleaning method.

The traditional thick coating on split leather does not have the ability to breathe like full grain leather. The air and water vapor permeabilities of full grain leather are well known properties due to its fiber woven structure. Simulating the fiber morphology and weaving structure of the dermis or grain layer is very important to construct a top surface layer for split leather. In this paper, a PU (polyurethane) foam layer is put first on the split to enhance the adhesion of a second application of a superfine fibrous PU resin. This foam uses well-known waterborne polyurethane foaming technology. This dried foam has good breathability because of high porosity. A superfine fiber membrane is next put atop of the foam layer by using an electro-spun polyurethane resin. This second resin imitates collagen fibers in the network structure of the leathers’ grain layer. Thus, this resultant electrospun fiber biomimetics membrane simulated the grain layer of natural leather. SEM showed the morphology and structure of this electrospun fiber biomimetic membrane to be like that of the grain layer of natural leather. The porosity and apparent density were basically the same as the grain of leather, which were 63.65% and 583.878 kg/m3 respectively. The air and water vapor permeability of the biomimetics membrane were also as high as 2250 mL·cm-2·h-1 and 8753.02 μg·cm-2·h-1 respectively. Therefore, the biomimetics membrane largely restored the ability to breathe of split leather. Thus, this method simulates the performance and structure of full grain leather and is a novel method for industrial production

Penetration of tanning agent in leather plays an important role in tanning performance and properties of finished leather. A novel complex tanning agent composed of Al–Zr salts and highly-oxidized starch ligand, named TWLZ, was used for chrome-free tanning. The masking effect of highly-oxidized starch reduced the electropositivity of metal complexes, which should help penetration of TWLZ and moderate its fixation during tanning. The effects of tanning agent dosage, basification method and pretreatment method on the distribution of TWLZ in leather were investigated. Using 8% TWLZ and basifying with magnesium oxide benefited the penetration and distribution of TWLZ throughout the cross-section of leather. Pretreatment with an amphoteric organic tanning agent could regulate the charge state of the hide, balance the penetration and fixation of TWLZ, and thus show uniform distribution and satisfactory tanning performance. This work will guide the establishment of TWLZ chrome-free tanning system.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds (SVOCs) arise from the chemicals used in the various stages of the leather manufacturing process. An important aim of the tanning industry is to minimize or eliminate VOCs and SVOCs, without lowering the quality of leather. This paper shows the development of a new headspace-solid phase micro extraction coupled with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC-MS) method for the identification of VOCs and SVOCs emitted by newly designed polymers for the leather finishing operation. These new polymers are polyurethane resins designed to reduce the VOC and SVOC concentration. This method enables a simple and fast determination of the qualitative and semi-quantitative content of VOCs and SVOCs in polyurethane-type finishing resins. The chemicals that are of concern in this paper are the following: Dipropylene glycol Monomethyl Ether (DPGME), DBE-3 (a mixture of dibasic esters) and Triethylamine (TEA). The test conditions that have been determined to carry out the HS-SPME assay are the following: incubation time (2 hours), extraction temperature and time (40°C; 5 minutes) and the desorption conditions (280°C, 50 seconds). Ten samples of laboratory scale resins were tested by HS-SPME followed by gas chromatography (GC-MS). DPGME and DBE-3 (a mixture of dimethyl adipate, dimethyl glutarate and dimethyl succinate) have been identified effectively. The compounds are identified by a quantitative method using external calibration curves for the target compounds. The technique is not effective to determine the TEA compound, since the chromatograms shown poor resolution peaks for the standard.

Manual trimming of sheepskin is intensive labor, and the working environment is full of rotten smells. The tannery is facing increasingly severe recruitment difficulties. This paper uses computer vision technology to study automatic recognition of sheepskin contours, which is the basis for the subsequent automatic trimming of sheepskin. After observing and analyzing the raw sheepskin images collected by an industrial array camera, a method of sheepskin contour extraction based on computer vision measurement technology is proposed in this paper. This method uses the fast Otsu threshold algorithm based on the pixel set to perform binary image segmentation. Combined with morphological processing for edge defect filling and topology analysis of boundary contour tracking algorithm to extract maximum contour information, it has a pixel-level three-dimensional de-noising preprocessing function and can accurately extract the sheepskin contour in the raw sheepskin image. The experimental results show that using the fast Otsu threshold algorithm proposed in this paper for binary segmentation to extract sheepskin contours, the detection rate is nearly 160% faster than the traditional Otsu algorithm, the edge protection is better, the error segmentation is reduced by nearly 3% and it has good anti-noise performance. It can meet the industrial production requirements of subsequent automatic cutting of sheepskin.

The control of pH of a process plays an important role in many chemical or biological reactions. The monitoring and control of pH of processes like wastewater treatment, manufacturing food and leather making facilitate to reduce pollution and improve the quality of the final product. The focus of this study is to optimize the usage of lime and recycling of spent liquor through continuous monitoring system of pH to achieve near zero residue from liming operation. But the challenges are nonlinear behaviour of the system and frequent fouling of pH sensors. The system developed monitors the pH values and controls the cycling time and the addition of lime as per the user set profile. The real time data of pH values in the process is logged on to the PC for further analysis. The efficacy of the system developed was validated at lab level and can be easily scaled up for implementation in industries. The results showed that the effluent from leather making can be minimized by adopting automated pH monitoring and control systems.

Hydrogen peroxide and sodium metaperiodate oxidation of starch and their possible utilization in tanning/retanning were examined in our previous studies. In the present part, accordingly with our previous findings, hydrogen peroxide and sodium metaperiodate oxidation products having appropriate molecular weight/size were selected and additionally carboxymethylated. The yields of the processes (carboxymethyl starches) were characterized comprehensively and the effect of carboxymethylation process on structures and tanning abilities were tried to be identified. The characterization results revealed that the carboxymethyl groups were successfully included into the structure and the water solubility of oxidized starches (especially periodate oxidized ones) increased by carboxymethylation process. From the evaluation of the tanning results and considering its properties i.e. gentle tanning effect with less astringency and correspondingly a relatively soft leather handle and smooth grain, it is concluded that dialdehyde carboxymethyl starch (CMS 1:0.7) can be utilized as yet another good alternative sustainable green tanning/retanning agent from starch.

Disposal of chromium-containing solid wastes generated from the leather industry poses a major threat to tanners worldwide. Herein, we propose a strategy to utilize chrome shaving waste for sound absorption application by blending it with natural fiber, wool. The composites were prepared at various ratios with different thickness by compression molding method and subjected to characterizations like scanning electron microscope, porosity measurements, and tensile strength analysis. The sound absorption behavior of the composites was evaluated using the two-microphone impedance tube method. The results indicate that the composites with higher thickness show better sound absorption at higher frequencies when compared to the natural wool and composites with lesser thicknesses. Thus, this material can be used as a sound-absorbing material thereby paving the alternative use of leather waste utilization.

Thus, this material can be used as a sound-absorbing material thereby paving the alternative use of leather waste utilization.","PeriodicalId":17201,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The American Leather Chemists Association","volume":" 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72384000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
