Definitions

  • the present invention regards a method for obtaining a tanned product according to the preamble of the independent claim 1.
  • the present method for obtaining a tanned product is intended to be advantageously employed in tanneries, in the field of production of tanned products, such as for example hides, leather or other finished products deriving from a raw hide.
  • the method for obtaining tanned products is advantageously employable for producing a semifinished tanned product, therefore intended to sustain subsequent transformations in order to obtain a tanned product which is for example employable as a semifinished product for the clothing industry and fashion industry in general, or also for the furniture/interior design industry.
  • the method, object of the present invention advantageously allows obtaining a biodegradable tanned product, hence susceptible of being autonomously degraded over time following the disposal thereof.
  • the invention is therefore inserted in the industrial field of production of tanned products, or more generally in the field of production of semifinished products for the clothing industry and fashion in general, or also for the furniture/interior design industry.
  • the methods for obtaining a tanned product usually provide for a pretanning step, which comprises a calcination operation, executed in a drum, in order to depilate the raw hide, a subsequent decalcination operation, executed in a drum in order to remove the lime residues of the calcination operation from the depilated raw hide and a subsequent pickling operation, executed in a drum, in order to obtain a complete lime-removal of the hide and thus obtain a hide ready to be tanned.
  • a pretanning step which comprises a calcination operation, executed in a drum, in order to depilate the raw hide, a subsequent decalcination operation, executed in a drum in order to remove the lime residues of the calcination operation from the depilated raw hide and a subsequent pickling operation, executed in a drum, in order to obtain a complete lime-removal of the hide and thus obtain a hide ready to be tanned.
  • the aforesaid methods also provide for a tanning step, usually chrome tanning, in which the pretanned hide is treated in a drum, by means of trivalent chromium salts or compounds, in order to obtain a tanned hide.
  • a tanning step usually chrome tanning
  • chrome tanning in which the pretanned hide is treated in a drum, by means of trivalent chromium salts or compounds, in order to obtain a tanned hide.
  • the tanning step is followed by a subsequent retanning step, which has the object of substantially entirely stopping the degradation processes of the hide, in fact rendering it a stabilized hide that is suitable to be employed as semifinished product in the various fields in which hides are used.
  • the tanned hide by means of chrome tanning is capable of being stored for a long time, usually even 9 months, before sustaining a retanning working.
  • the main drawback lies in the fact that such tanning is polluting and potentially dangerous for the environment, due to the heavy metals employed which are inevitably released into the environment following tanning.
  • a further drawback lies in the fact that the chrome tanning is unable to ensure a completely natural aspect for the tanned hide and moreover the latter, if chrome-tanned, has an altered odor, of chemical type, which confers a not very nice appearance to the tanned hide for the final user.
  • a first drawback lies in the fact that the aforesaid method comprising a step of vegetable tanning and retanning resulted unsuitable for being industrialized and employed large scale on a high number of hides, and has only found use for small productions of hides. This is due to the fact that such hides have a considerable degradation caused by the lack of stabilization of the hide, due to the lack of chrome.
  • a further drawback lies in the fact that the tanned hides obtained with the aforesaid method have revealed themselves to be not very nice to the touch, and in particular they have proven themselves to be provided with poor softness, lacking the properties necessary for their commercialization, in particular in the field of fashion and of clothing in general.
  • a further drawback lies in the fact that the tanned hides obtained with the aforesaid method have proven hard to dye and generally complicated to be worked in the subsequent finishing steps aimed to confer to the hide the aesthetic characteristics necessary for its use, in particular in the fashion and clothing field.
  • a further drawback lies in the fact that the tanned hides obtained with the aforesaid method have demonstrated that they are not completely biodegradable, and therefore not classifiable as biodegradable product.
  • Also known from the document EP 2110446 A1 is a tanning method which provides for employing vegetable tannins, such as in particular 10% Quebracho ATO, 5% Mimosa and 5% Chestnut, and for employing, in a final retanning step, tannins deriving from an apple extract.
  • vegetable tannins such as in particular 10% Quebracho ATO, 5% Mimosa and 5% Chestnut

  • the document EP 2862944 A1 describes a method of known type for the treatment of the sheep hide, which comprises a tanning step, during which a product based on vegetable tannins is employed for a duration of 2-3 days.
  • the problem underlying the present invention is therefore that of overcoming the drawbacks manifested by the methods in order to obtain a tanned product of known type, by providing a method for obtaining a tanned product, which allows obtaining a tanned product that is stabilized and substantially lacking degradations.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a method for obtaining a tanned product, which allows obtaining a biodegradable tanned product.
