Definitions
- the present invention regards a process for making a solid product starting from hides, according to the preamble of the independent claim 1.
- the present process is inserted in the field of working hides, and in particular in the field of recovery and working of discards deriving from preceding working of hides, so as to obtain new products that can be reused for different uses.
- such new products are intended to be employed in different fields, such as the construction field, e.g. for making insulating panels or covering elements (such as tiles), the furniture/interior design field, e.g. for making the walls of a building (possibly associated with other panels), the clothing and fashion field, e.g. for making clothing articles, footwear, bags etc.
- the construction field e.g. for making insulating panels or covering elements (such as tiles)
- the furniture/interior design field e.g. for making the walls of a building (possibly associated with other panels)
- the clothing and fashion field e.g. for making clothing articles, footwear, bags etc.
- Processes are known for working the hides, which usually provide for cutting-out the hides so as to obtain a shaped element made of hide for making finished products, usually for the footwear field and clothing in general.
- Such processes produce a high quantity of working discards, also known as working scraps, which, in addition to determining a waste of material, involve a high disposal cost.
- the discards Following the working of the hides, the discards must in fact be transported and conferred to a side dedicated for the disposal thereof, usually an incinerator or a dump.
- a further problem tied to the disposal of such working discards lies in the fact that this involves environmental damage, both if the discards are disposed of by means of incinerator, since their combustion determines introductions of gases, ash and dust into the atmosphere, and if they are disposed of in dumps, since they constitute high volumes of waste and their decomposition can involve the release of harmful substances (in particular heavy metals) present within the worked hide.
- the aforesaid process provides for a cutting step, in which the discards are cut into a plurality of cut-outs, and a subsequent mixing step, in which the aforesaid cut-outs are mixed with glue.
- the process also provides for a pressing step, in which the mixture of cut-outs and glue is pressed in order to obtain a panel which is finally made to dry under air in order to solidify the glue present in the mixture and obtain a finished product.
- such process provides for the use of a vinyl glue based on water or, alternatively, a glue containing solvents, such as for example a polyurethane glue, neoprene glue, thermoplastic glue or mastic glue, or an animal glue or a latex glue.
- a glue containing solvents such as for example a polyurethane glue, neoprene glue, thermoplastic glue or mastic glue, or an animal glue or a latex glue.
- a glue containing solvents such as for example a polyurethane glue, neoprene glue, thermoplastic glue or mastic glue, or an animal glue or a latex glue.
- a first drawback lies in the fact that the products obtained with the aforesaid process contain different synthetic substances (in particular bonded to the employed glues), such as chrome or formaldehyde, which have a high environmental impact for the subsequent disposal of such products.
- the glues employed have shown themselves to be unsuitable for effectively prohibiting the release of harmful substances that are present in the treated hide, usually deriving from the tanning process, in particular chrome and formaldehyde.
- a further drawback of the above-described process of known type lies in the fact that the finished products obtained with such process do not result provided with good physical and mechanical characteristics, and in particular are provided with high rigidity, rendering it poorly suited for applications (such as those of clothing) in which particularly soft materials are requested, also for aesthetic reasons and for consumer appreciation.
- a further drawback lies in the fact that the finished product are not very uniform from the aesthetic standpoint and in particular there are visible defects of poor adhesion of the glue to the cut-outs, which determine a partial separation of the glue matrix from the cut-outs in such point. This is due to the fact that during the mixing step such employed glues are unable to adhere to the cut-outs in an optimal manner.
- the problem underlying the present invention is to remedy the drawbacks of the abovementioned prior art, by providing a process for making a solid product starting from hides which allows obtaining products with low environmental impact.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a process for making a solid product starting from hides, which can be actuated with an insignificant production of polluting discard residues.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a process for making a solid product starting from hides, which allows obtaining products usable in many different application fields.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a process for making a solid product starting from hides, which allows obtaining products provided with good physical and mechanical properties.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a process for making a solid product starting from hides, which allows obtaining a product that is provided with a sufficient elasticity for the application for example in the clothing and leather fields.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a process which allows obtaining a finished product provided with high aesthetic properties.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a process which allows recovering and reusing the hide working discards.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a process that is simple, which has limited costs and which is attainable with apparatuses of known type.
- the process for making a solid product starting from hides in accordance with the present invention allows using hide discards for making new solid products employable in different applications.
- the solid products can be employed for making products for construction (e.g. for making insulating panels or covering elements), for components of buildings and furniture/interior design components (for example for making the walls of a building), for parts of clothing articles or leather articles (such as footwear, bags), etc.
- the solid products obtained with the present product can be both intermediate products that are used as starting product in order to obtain finished products, and products that are per se already finished, as discussed in detail hereinbelow.
