Improving chemical penetration during leather manufacture

Objective

Penetration of process chemicals into and through the structure of hides and skins is a major factor influencing all stages of leather processing. To make good quality leather these chemicals need to penetrate through the substance of the skin and into the hierarchy of the structure consistently and evenly and for economic viability this needs to be achieved as fast as possible. The proposed project aims to examine the factors affecting penetration and the information gained will be used to optimise processes. Methods developed to optimise penetration will result in an improvement in leather quality, and savings through a more efficient usage of chemicals and reduced energy usage. Reduced processing times will also facilitates a more rapid response to customer orders.
