Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for pickling and pre-tanning skin bumps and the leather material produced by the present method.
  • a decalcified and pickled pale must first be subjected to a pimple treatment.
  • This treatment is used to adjust the bare skin to a pH of approx. 3-4, at which the common tanning agents show their best effect.
  • Sulfuric, hydrochloric or formic acid is generally used for the picking process, with the addition of a neutral salt such as e.g. Sodium chloride or sodium sulfate is required.
  • neutral salts prevent damaging acidic swelling of the collagen ("acid swelling") caused by the acids.
  • the pre-tanning that follows the pimple process is usually carried out in liquors containing heavy metals, e.g. highly basic aluminum or zirconium, and preferably chrome salt baths.
  • heavy metals e.g. highly basic aluminum or zirconium, and preferably chrome salt baths.
  • DE-A-3 811 267 discloses a process for the production of semi-finished leather products by pretanning, in which a mixture of a dialdehyde and a specific hydroxy compound is used as the tanning agent formulation.
  • DE-A-190 702 describes a process for decalcifying skins, in which the skins are soaked in a bath of sulfur and a carbohydrate which is in alcoholic fermentation.
  • DE-A-85 933 relates to a method for decalcifying (pickling) and swelling everyone Types of skins and skins by treating them with sulfonic acids of phenol and cresols in aqueous solution.
  • a combined pimple-pretanning process has now been found, which surprisingly makes it possible to carry out the pimple and tanning process in a one-bath process, in which mineral and neutral salts can be dispensed with and with which good pimple and tanning results are achieved.
  • the preferred sulfonating agent used to prepare component (a) is SO 3 or, above all, oleum.
  • Oleum is a solution of SO 3 in concentrated sulfuric acid.
  • reaction products of phenol and oleum are particularly suitable, the molar ratio (phenol) :( SO 3 ) being above all (1) :( 1.4-1.8)
  • the reaction product of phenol and oleum is known per se.
  • GB-A-0,683,084 the production of reaction products from phenol and oleum, which however, e.g. Formaldehyde and urea or thiourea are further implemented and used as tanning agents.
  • the reaction product according to the invention is a mixture, the main constituent of which is sulfonated dihydroxydiphenyl sulfones.
  • Component (a) is contained in the pickle liquor A in an amount of 1 to 10, preferably 3 to 5% by weight, based on the weight of the pomace.
  • a C 1 -C 3 carboxylic acid is added to the pickle liquor A as an optional component (a1), which is present in the pickle liquor in an amount of 0 to 1, preferably 0.1 to 1% by weight.
  • carboxylic acids are formic acid, acetic acid or propionic acid.
  • Formic acid is preferably used for the picking process
  • aldoses or ketoses with a dextrose equivalent of 10 to 100 come into consideration as component (b). They are primarily mono- and disaccharides, but also oligo- and polysaccharides.
  • the dextrose equivalent is the amount of saccharide calculated in grams, which corresponds to 100 grams of dextrose in terms of reducing power.
  • Mono- or disaccharides are preferably used in the process according to the invention.
  • Suitable monosaccharides are, for example, glucose, fructose, mannose, arabinose and ribose.
  • Sucrose, maltose or lactose may be mentioned as representatives of the disaccharides.
  • Monosaccharides are preferred for the process according to the invention.
  • the aldoses are to be mentioned here, the glucose being of very special interest because of its easy accessibility and availability in technical quantities. preferably 40 to 80.
  • dialdehydes or mixtures thereof which have 2 to 8 carbons and structurally saturated aliphatic C-C linkages can generally be used as dialdehydes corresponding to component (c).
  • dialdehydes corresponding to component (c) examples include glyoxal, malondialdehyde, succindialdehyde, glutaraldehyde, adipindialdehyde, pimeline dialdehyde and dialdehyde derived from suberic acid.
  • Preferred representatives are succindialdehyde, glutardialdehyde, adipindialdehyde and glyoxal, of which glutardialdehyde is of primary interest.
  • the dialdehydes are usually available as commercially available dialdehydes containing 25 to 50% by weight of water.
  • the aqueous composition B is expediently prepared by dissolving component (a) at a temperature between 20 and 60 ° C. and then adding component (b) to the clear solution obtained.
  • the aqueous composition thus obtained is liquid and has good storage stability.
  • Component (b) is preferably a monosaccharide with a dextrose equivalent of 100 or a disaccharide with a dextrose equivalent of 20-60.
  • aqueous compositions B which contain 0.05 to 0.19 mol of component (b) per mole of component (c).
  • the decalcified skin is washed with water at room temperature, preferably at a temperature of 20 to 30 ° C for 10 to 20 minutes, and then washed in an aqueous pimple liquor which contains the component ( a) contains, treated for 90 to 180 minutes.
  • the pH of the pimple liquor is between 3 and 4.
  • the pimple treatment is carried out at room temperature, preferably between 20 and 30, and very particularly between 20 and 25 ° C. If, in a preferred embodiment, the pimple liquor additionally contains the optional component (a1), the procedure is such that the pellets are treated within 15 minutes in the aqueous liquor A which contains half the concentration of component (a) given above.
  • component (a) is added to the pickling liquor and component (a1) and further treated as usual. Then you give for the Pre-tanning the pickle liquor with the aqueous composition B.
  • the pH is adjusted to a value between 3.5 and 4.5. Treatment is continued for 8 to 14 hours at a temperature between 20 and 30 ° C.
  • the entire treatment takes place in the reel or preferably in a rotating barrel.
  • the leather treated in this way can be drained very well and therefore also makes it easier to fold to the desired thickness.
  • This pre-tanned leather is ideally suited for further processing with all common mineral, vegetable and synthetic tanning agents.
  • the pre-tanned leather is particularly suitable for the production of wet white leather. It is characterized by a soft, voluminous handle.
  • the present process can also be used to produce finished tanned leather.
  • Phenolsulfonic acid is also formed as a by-product.
  • a clear, light solution is obtained which has a pH of 3.9-4.2.
  • the dry content is 50%.
  • a decalcified pale is washed with 200% water at 25 ° C for 15 minutes.
  • the pH is approximately 3.0.
  • a pH of 3.3 to 3.5 is established. It is treated at the same temperature for 150 minutes.
  • Example 2 1.5% of the composition according to Example 2 are added to the pickling liquor.
  • the pH is adjusted to 4.0 using powdered sodium hydrogen carbonate or sodium hydrogen sulfate. Treatment is continued for 8 to 16 hours at a temperature of 25 ° C.
  • the wet white leather produced in this way is dewatered and folded to the desired thickness.
  • This pre-tanned leather is ideally suited for further processing with mineral, vegetable or synthetic tanning agents to produce leather free of heavy metals.
  • Example 3 If one works as described in Example 3, but instead of using 1.5% of the composition according to Example 2, 1% glutardialdehyde and 0.6% of a 50% glucose syrup with a dextrose equivalent of 60, a wet white is obtained. Leather with a shrinking temperature of approx. 75 ° C.
