Abstract:
The invention relates to the tanning of leather.The tanning method according to the invention, which is designed to confer on the leathers and hides biostatic properties without migration of the active agent, involves tanning the leathers and hides with non-soluble basic metallic complexes formed in situ, and on which have been fixed one or more biocidal agents.The invention finds an application in the manufacture of shoes.
Abstract:
What are disclosed are improved methods for the preparation of leather wherein, in one or more steps for preparing leather from limed animal skins or hides, including beamhouse operations such as deliming, bating, pickling, and degreasing to prepare unhaired tannable hides from animal skins or hides, and including subsequent tanning, retanning, and dyeing steps performed on said unhaired tannable hides, small amounts of a high polymeric water soluble cellulose ether or of an acrylic polymer are added to at least one of the treating baths involved in such method steps as a lubricant for said skins or hides.
Abstract:
What is disclosed are improved methods for the preparation of leather wherein, in one or more steps for preparing leather from animal skins or hides, including beamhouse operations such as soaking, dehairing, opening of the hide structure, deliming, bating, pickling, and degreasing to prepare dehaired tannable hides from animal skins or hides, and including subsequent tanning, retanning, and dying steps performed on said tannable hides, a thickening agent is added to at least one of the treating baths involved in such method steps.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to sulphonic acids of ditolylether sulphones of formula I ##STR1## in which n is 0 to 6, each of x and y, independently, is 0 or 1 with the proviso that x+y is at least one, or salts thereof and condensates of the same with formaldehyde, which compounds are useful, inter alia, as dispersing agents for disperse dyestuff preparations.
Abstract:
What is disclosed are a method for treating pelts or leather in the beamhouse, for tanning, or as an aftertreatment, which method comprises contacting said pelts or leather with an aqueous solution or dispersion of a copolymer comprising monomers of a nitrogenous ester of acrylic acid or of methacrylic acid, a further different ester of acrylic acid or of methacrylic acid, and acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, whereby portions of said copolymer are deposited in the grain layer without formation of a superficial film, and pelts and leather treated by this method.
Abstract:
4-Tolyl diiodomethyl sulfone has been found to protect leather from fungal attack if it is incorporated into the tanning mixture in suitable amounts.
