Definitions
- the present invention provides a process for manufacturing wet pink leather using a combination of inorganic and organic chemicals.
- the process is envisaged to have enormous potential application in leather processing industry for producing pink leather without employing any conventional dye.
- Processing of leather essentially involves pre-tanning, tanning and post-tanning operations followed by finishing.
- Pre-tanning involves a series of operations like soaking, liming, deliming, bating and pickling that essentially condition the hides and skins for subsequent tanning.
- the leather so produced is of a pleasing white color, has good light fastness, and is superior to alum-tanned leather and has a higher (above 9O 0 C) shrinkage temperature.
- Zirconium salts tend to be very astringent, and normally produce tight, firm leather; causes rapid tannage of the grain and produce a fine, short nap on suede leathers.
- masking salts such as acetates, the astringency can be reduced, resulting in soft, smooth-grained leather as studied by Madhan et al (Journal of American Leather Chemists Association 98, 107-114, 2003).
- zirconium tanning The major limitation associated with the zirconium tanning is that the zirconium salts precipitate as basic salts at a pH higher than 2.0. Another limitation associated with this tannage is that zirconium tanning is known to produce leathers with drawn grain. However, reports are not prevalent on the adverse effects or toxicity of zirconium salts. Hence, tanning using zirconium salts would be an eco-friendly option. Studies on tanning properties of Tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium salt (THP) were carried out by Das Gupta (Journal of Society of Leather Technologists and Chemists, 86,188, 2002) as an alternative-tanning agent to the traditional chrome tanning system.
- THP Tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium salt
- THPS Burrow et al studied the tanning potential of THP with chromium (US patent, 6,685,747).
- Benefits of THPS include low toxicity, low treatment levels, rapid breakdown in the environment, and no bioaccumulation. When substituted for more toxic biocides, THPS biocide provides reduced risk to both human health and environment.
- the main objective of the present invention is to provide a process for making wet-pink leathers.
- Another objective of the present invention is to provide a process for making wet pink leather using zirconium and THPS salts.
- Yet another objective of the present invention is to provide a tanning process that provides fuller, softer and smoother leathers. Yet another objective of the present invention is to select Tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium salt from Tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfate (THPS), Tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium chloride (THPC) either individually or in any combination.
- THPS Tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfate
- THPC Tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium chloride
- Yet another objective of the present invention is to select zirconium salt from zirconium oxychloride, zirconium sulfate either individually or in any combination.
- Still another objective of the present invention is to provide a tanning process, which is eco-friendly and abates chrome pollution.
- the present invention provides a process for making wet-pink leather, which comprises of treating pickled skins/hides with 0.5-3% w/w, of Tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium salts (THP Salt) in the presence of an 20-100%w/v, of aqueous solution of common salt having concentration in the range of 6-6.5 Be' and pH in the range of 2.5-3.0 for a period in the range of 0.5-3hrs, followed by treating the skins/hides, as obtained in step(i), with 5-l0%w/w, of zirconium salt and l-3%w/w, of organic ligand selected from a group comprising tartaric acid, citric acid, salicylic acid and phthalic acid and/or their sodium salt under dynamic condition for a period of not less than 1 hr followed by adjusting pH by conventional method in the range of 4.8-5.0 to produce wet pink leather.
- THP Salt Tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium salts
- the inventive step of the present development lies in obtaining the pink colouration by way of the complexation between zirconium and THP salt, which is observed by a shift in the wavelength of UV- Vis spectra of zirconium-THP salt tanning solution towards visible wavelength region, thereby making wet pink leather without using any conventional dye.
- the raw materials are selected from the group comprising skins and hides of goat, sheep, pig, cow and buffalo.
- the Tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium salt is selected from a group consisting of Tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfate (THPS) and Tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium chloride (THPC) either individually or in any combination.
- THPC and THPS is used either individually or in any combination.
- THP is the main active component required. Thus there is no specific combination, because offering THP in any way serves the purpose of the invention.
- the organic ligand is selected from a group consisting of tartaric acid, citric acid, salicylic acid and phthalic acid and/or their sodium salt.
- zirconium salt used is selected from a group consisting of zirconium oxychloride and zirconium sulfate either individually or in any combination.
- the metallic Zr is the main active component required for the tannage. Thus there is no specific combination, because offering Zr in any way serves the purpose of the invention.
- wet-pink leather is obtained by complexation between zirconium and THP salt, which is effected by a shift in the wavelength of Ultraviolet- Visible spectra of zirconium-THP salt tanning solution towards visible wavelength region.
- Example 1 is provided by way of illustration only and therefore should not be construed to limit the scope of the present invention.
- Example 1
- Example 2 Three pickled sheepskins, weighing 4.0 kg, were taken. The pickled skins were loaded in a drum with 4000 ml solution of common salt having concentration of 6.5 Be' and pH 2.8. To this, 20 gms THPC was added to the drum. The duration of the running was 60 min. 200 gms of zirconium sulfate and 40 gms of citric acid were added to the drum. The drum was run for 90 min. Finally the conventional basification was done to the pH 4.9, using 20 gms sodium formate and 120 gms sodium bicarbonate. The tanned skins were washed with 8000 ml water for 10 minutes, drained and wet pink leather was obtained.
- This tanning system produces full, soft and smooth leathers.
