Fibre-forming Properties of Collagen and Gelatin Derived from Bovine Limed-Split Waste
Abstract Fibre-forming properties of collagen and gelatin derived from bovine limed-split were investigated. It was found that collagen was capable of assembling into fibres in a salt environment. The morphology...
Comparison of Physico-mechanical and Physico-chemical Properties of Leather Tanned Using Different Methods
Abstract The aim of this work was to analyse physico-mechanical and physico-chemical properties of chrome leather, chrome-free and no-pickle chrome tanned leather. Leather was tested for tensile and tear strength....
Hygienic Properties of Leather Finished with Formulations Containing Collagen Hydrolysate Obtained by Acid Hydrolysis
Abstract Test results of finished leathers are presented in this paper. Varying proportions of acrylic resin and collagen hydrolysate were used as binding agents. The hydrolysate was produced from waste...
Measurement of Hexavalent Chromium in Chrome-Tanned Leather: Comparative Study of Acidic Condition Extraction with Alkaline Extraction
Abstract Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) causes dermatitis and cancer, and is often quantified from chrometanned leather. Analysis for Cr6+ is generally carried out after extraction into 0.1 M potassium phosphate buffer...
