Résumé : |
Stretching chrome-free leather tanned with glutaraldehyde during vacuum drying may possibly be the best drying method for this particular type of leather, because it results in an improved area yield and better mechanical properties due to a lower drying temperature. We explored this composite drying method and investigated how drying variables affect the drying rate and mechanical properties of chrome-free leather that was tanned with glutaraldehyde. Using a statistical experimental design, a second order polynomial equation was derived to quantitatively describe the relationship between the drying rate and three major independent variables: drying temperature, stretch %, and drying time. Drying rate models derived from this investigation provide a clear understanding of the drying process for chrome-free leather. The drying constant indicates that chrome free leather dries faster than chrome-tanned leather. These models will help the leather industry estimate the proper drying parameters. Our studies showed that stretch % during vacuum drying is the most significant variable affecting the stiffness and area retention of leather. This research indicated that stretching should not be overdone and the preferable length increase should not be greater than 10%; otherwise poor leather properties may result, such as an elongation less than 40% and toughness index less than 1 |
