Definitions

  • a phenolic compound having a long-chain alkyl radical or a long-chain alkenyl radical is used as a tanning and fat-liquoring agent in addition to ordinary tanning agents in tanning of hides and skins.
  • This invention relates generally to the art of processing animal hides and skins and more particularly to a new and improved method and fat liquoring agents for tanning hides and skins.
  • fat-liquoring and stuffing agents (hereinafter referred to as fat-liquoring agents) used heretofore have invariably been of the fatty oil type or of the type containing synthetic, hydrocarbon chain derivatives, whereby these fat-liquoring agents have had a tendency to be readily desorbed from the hides and skins. Consequently, tanned leathers thus produced have often had the disadvantageous tendency of hardening during use and readily developing cracks.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a group of new fat-liquoring agents to be .used with ordinary tanning agents to produce leather, which fat-liquoring agents have substantial tanning effect in addition to their excellent fat-liquoring effects, and which, as fat-liquoring agents, are not readily desorbed from the finished leather.
  • a tannable fat-liquoring agent containing as its principal component a phenolic compound having a longchain alkyl radical or a long-chain alkenyl radical attached thereto.
  • a method for tanning hides and skins with the ordinary tanning agents which method is characterized by the-use of, in addition to the ordinary tanning agents, a tannable fat-liquoring agent as designated above and as described more fully hereinafter.
  • a feature of the method of the invention lies in the use of compounds such as monovalent or bivalent long-chain alkylor long-chain alkenylphenols and long-chain alkylor longchain alkenyl-phenol having a carboxyl group as tannable fat-liquoring agents as described more fully hereinafter, These compounds can be represented by the following general formula.
  • R represents a long-chain alkyl radical or a long-chain alkenyl radical.
  • Examples of compounds corresponding to the above represented compound form are octylphenol and nonylphenol among those produced synthetically and cashew nut shell liquids, urushiol, and laccol among those obtained naturally.
  • cashew nut shell liquids there is the class obtained by cold pressing or by solvent extraction and the class obtained by heat elution.
  • the former class contains anacardic acid as the principal component and also approximately 10 percent of cardol, which is a bivalent phenol-derivative.
  • the fat-liquoring agent used in the process according to the invention is invariably a phenolic compound having a long-chain alkyl radical or alkenyl radical.
  • the phenolic radical OH is linked with the active group (with) in the proteins which are constituents of a hide or skin to accomplish tanning, and, at the same time, the long-chain alkyl or alkenyl radical functions as a fat-liquoring agent to cause softening of the hide or skin.
  • a COOH radical when a COOH radical is present, it forms a strong complex compound with the chromium in chrome leather and remains for a long time in the leather without separating therefrom.
  • the fat-liquoring agent used in the process of the invention differing from those used heretofore, exhibits not only a fat-liquoring effect but also a tanning effect with respect to hides and skins. Therefore, it may be more appropriate to call this agent as a tannable fat-liquoring agent.” Practical use of such tannable fat-liquoring agents has been made possible for the first time by the present invention.
  • a tannable fat-liquoring agent according to the invention is capable of effectively accomplishing both tanning and fat-liquoring as described above, it can be used in a step of a fat-luquoring process stop subsequent to an ordinary tanning, or it may be mixed with an ordinary tanning agent and used in one process step to accomplish simultaneously both tanning and fat-liquoring.
  • the use of this tannable fat-liquoring agent in a separate fat-liquoring step and its mixed use as a tanning agent are herein referred to generically by the term joint use.
  • a phenolic carboxylic acid having a long-chain alkyl radical or a long-chain alkenyl radical as, for example, a cashew nut shell liquid (cold pressed) which has not yet been decarboxylated and contains anacardic acid as the main constituent, can be rendered soluble in water by converting it to a basic salt of sodium, potassium, organic amines, and ammonia.
  • a length greater than that corresponding to C is preferably for the alkyl or alkenyl radical which is a side chain of the phenolic compound.
  • the use ofthe tannable fat-liquoring agent of the invention as a fat-liquoring agent in a tanning process produces results which have been found to be superior to those attainable through the use of conventional fat-liquoring agents. More specifically, improvements in swelling or plumpness and hand feeling, increase in smoothness of the grain side (or hair side), prevention of poor hide, increase in the fullness of belly, and other desirable results are attained, and, moreover, washable leathers oflow trichlene extraction quantity can be produced.
  • a fat-liquoring composition material suitable for use according to the invention was prepared by adding 250 grammes (g.) of methanol to g. of nonylphenol and 300 g. ofa decarboxylated cashew nut shell liquid, adding by dropping 350 g. of a lO-percent aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide to the resulting process batch as the batch was maintained at a temperature of degrees C. and agitated, and continuing the agitation at the same temperature for 30 minutes after completion ofthe dropping.
  • a fat-liquoring composition suitable for use according to the invention was prepared by adding 200 g. of methanol to 300 g. of a cashew nut shell liquid which had not been decarboxylated, 30 g. of a decarboxylated cashew nut shell liquid, and 50 g. of urushiol, dropping 75 g. of triethanolamine and 40 g. of a lO-percent aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide into the resulting process batch as it was maintained at a temperature of 60 degrees C. and agitated, and maintaining the resulting batch at the same temperature for seven hours after completion of the dropping step.
  • fur pelts which had been subjected respectively to formalin tanning and alum tanning were coated on their flesh sides, after surplus water had been drained off, with a fatliquoring agent consisting of a mixture of 100 parts of the afore-described fat-liquoring composition and 5O parts of octylphenol and were dumped for 24 hours with their flesh sides in mutual contact. Thereafter, the pelts were air dried and seasoned and staked by conventional methods whereupon a fur of excellent soft feeling was obtained.
  • a fat-liquoring composition for use according to the invention was prepared by adding five g. of Noigen EA-15l (a nonionic surface active agent manufactured by Daiichi Kohgyoh Seiyaku K.K., Japan) at room temperature to 500 g. of an undecarboxylated cashew nut shell liquid and thoroughly mixing the resulting mixture.
  • Noigen EA-15l a nonionic surface active agent manufactured by Daiichi Kohgyoh Seiyaku K.K., Japan
  • the conventional method comprised chrome tanning the hide by an ordinary procedure and then treating the hide with sulphonated neats foot oil as a fat-liquoring agent.
  • a method of tanning hides and skins to prepare a leather material which comprises employing in the tanning process, and in addition to the ordinary tanning agents, a fat-Iiquoring step utilizing a compound of the formula R (C 0.0H)m
  • R is a long-chain-alkyl radical or a long-chain alkenyl radical, is l or 2 and m is 0 or 1.
