摘要:
A method for processing natural or synthetic leather by using super-critical CO2. The leather can be dried leather, low grade leathers, thin leather, crust leathers, finished leathers, wet blue leathers, and tanned leather, as well as synthetic leather. In a second aspect the invention relates to leather obtained by said method, and in a third aspect to a stand-alone apparatus for performing said method.
摘要:
Described herein is a method for producing a biofabricated material from collagen or collagen-like proteins. The collagen or collagen-like proteins are isolated from animal sources or produced by recombinant DNA techniques or by chemical synthesis. The collagen or collagen-like proteins are fibrillated, crosslinked, dehydrated and lubricated thus forming the biofabricated material having a substantially uniform network of collagen fibrils.
摘要:
A biofabricated material containing a network of crosslinked collagen fibrils is disclosed. This material is composed of collagen which is also a major component of natural leather and is produced by a process of fibrillation of collagen molecules into fibrils, crosslinking the fibrils and lubricating the crosslinked fibrils. Unlike natural leathers, this biofabricated material exhibits non-anisotropic (not directionally dependent) physical properties, for example, a sheet of biofabricated material can have substantially the same elasticity or tensile strength when stretched or stressed in different directions. Unlike natural leather, it has a uniform texture that facilitates uniform uptake of dyes and coatings. Aesthetically, it produces a uniform and consistent grain for ease of manufacturability. It can have substantially identical grain, texture and other aesthetic properties on both sides distinct from natural leather where the grain increases from one side (e.g., distal surface) to the other (proximal inner layers).
摘要:
The invention is directed to a composite material comprising a biofabricated material and a secondary component. The secondary component may be a porous material, such as a sheet of paper, cellulose, or fabric that has been coated or otherwise contacted with the biofabricated material. The biofabricated material comprises a uniform network of crosslinked collagen fibrils and provides strength, elasticity and an aesthetic appearance to the composite material.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a process for retanning leather comprising the steps of: a) providing tanned or pre-tanned leather b) treating the tanned leather of step a) with a composition comprising hollow microspheres, preferably as an aqueous composition, the hollow microspheres have a true density of from 0.01 to 0.10 g/cm3 (25° C.) and/or a bulk density of the dry powder of 0.005 to 0.06 g/cm3 (25° C.), c) drying, whereby the temperature of the leather during drying does not exceed 75° C. as well as to leather obtained by said process.
摘要:
Described herein is a method for producing a biofabricated material from collagen or collagen-like proteins which are recombinantly produced and which contain substantially no 3-hydroxyproline. The collagen or collagen-like proteins are isolated from animal sources, or produced by recombinant DNA techniques or by chemical synthesis. The collagen or collagen-like proteins are fibrillated, crosslinked, dehydrated and lubricated thus forming the biofabricated material having a substantially uniform network of collagen fibrils.
摘要:
Fatliquoring agents for the production and/or for the treatment of leather comprising (A) at least one natural lipoid; (B) at least one polymer based on the monomers acrylic acid and/or methacrylic acid; (C) an emulsifier composition containing a C6- to C17-alkanol alkoxylated with up to 12 alkylene oxide units or a mixture of two or more such alkanols and a C12- to C24-fatty alcohol mixture alkoxylated with at least 15 alkylene oxide units.
摘要:
Agents for the fatliquoring of, in particular, leathers and hides tanned in the absence of chromium comprise A) at least one modified natural oil and B) at least one stabilizer LnR where Ra is H or methyl, Rb is methyl, ethyl or tert-butyl, Rc is methyl, tert-butyl, cyclohexyl or methylcyclohexyl, R is an n-valent C3- to C30-hydrocarbon radical which is unsubstituted or substituted and/or contains hetero atoms and n is an integer from 1 to 10, the stabilizer LnR having altogether at least 20, in particular altogether at least 28, carbon atoms, and, where n is 2, —R— also being —S—, —O—, —N(H)—, —CH2—, —(CH2)2—, —CH(CH3)—, —CH2)3—, —CH(C2H5)— or —C(CH3)2—. The novel fatliquoring agents are used in leather production and/or leather treatment, and leather is produced and/or treated using aqueous dispersions of these fatliquoring agents.
