The right finish for your leather is a topic which determines our daily efforts from a developmental, as well as a service point of view. I would like to share some of my thoughts on this subject with you.
Is it stil] possible to look upon finishing, as it was years ago described in a promotional leaflet by the New England Tanners Club ? "The finishing department in a tannery is the area where an alert and creative mind now adds the final touches to enhance the natural beauty of the product, while further adding to its "service-ability".
Up until World War One, natural and tu a greater extent synthetic dyestuffs were the major colouring agents on leather. Aniline dyestuffs could not be imported during wartime; for this reason some finish producers found a way to colour leather with the aid of pigments. In order to fix the pigments on leather they were ground with viscous solutions of casein in cone mills.
With the application of this type of "pigment paint" the leather producers discovered that leathers with uneven or patchy surfaces came out almost as good as those of better selections. The better utilization of poorer quality raw materials made leather production more profitable. The description of the above event was not the beginning of leather finishing but it steered it into the direction as we know finishing today. In 1931 BASF started manufacturing and selling polyacrylate dispersions for the purpose of leather finishing, and soon after — as other companies followed this example — a new era in leather finishing dawned. For the first time highly stretchy glove leathers could be finished with these resilient binders. Over the years leather finishing has become a very complex field indeed; few other coatings have to meet so many requirements. |
