Abstract Scope |
The chemical and mechanical steps in the leather-producing process-soaking, unhairing/liming, deliming/bating, pickling, tanning, neutralization/dyeing, fatliquoring, drying, and finishing-transform hides and skin into leather. The fatliquor, which is often injected into the collagen fibers to lubricate them without leaving an oily residue on the surface of the leather, is composed of many plants sulfonated oils. Plant sulfonated oil has been shown to improve the tensile strength, flexibility, and softness of leathers, as well as their lubricating capabilities. This investigation focused on the lubricating qualities of leather that had been treated with various fatliquored oils. The physicochemistry, difficulties, and potential uses of fatliquor in the manufacturing of leather were also emphasized. |
