Objective
The aim is to develop a leather finishing system using an electrostatic process which does not require organic solvents, based principally on water-based finishing and, subsequently, on powder resins, as soon as the technological advances on resins allow new formulations for melting at a low temperature. At present, a large quantity of chemical products are used for the finishing of leather which present some drawbacks due to the use of solvents: Emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC), health and environmental risks related to VOC and expensive environmental measures in order to reduce VOC. It is intended to prepare a CRAFT proposal with the objectives: To reduce by 15% the finishing process time. 100% elimination of the use of solvents and the problems associated with the VOC. To prepare new formulations for the leather finishing in the form of water-based and powder finishing (solvents free). To develop a system to apply the finishing by means of an electrostatic process and to obtain leathers useful in the manufacture of footwear, which fulfil the requirements of quality.
