Exploring the Different Types of Leather Chemicals Used in Leather Production From Tanning Agents to Finishing Chemicals: A Comprehensive Overview of the Different Types of Leather Chemicals. Fatliquors for leather making Fatliquors are a type of chemicals used in the leather manufacturing process to add softness, flexibility, and durability to leather. They are typically added after the leather has been tanned and dried, but before it is finished. Beet pulp as an alternative to chemical ingredients Research has shown that pectins from sugar beet pulp are suitable as bio-based ingredients in the production of leather. How to achieve and prove sustainability in chemicals? To attain more sustainable production of leather, the chemicals and processes need to be redesigned. How to do this and how to prove this? Chemicals Market Outlook 2022 If one thing is clear since the fourth quarter of 2021 it is that chemicals availability and pricing are not improving and are not expected to improve before Q3 of 2022. Phenolic monomers in aromatic syntans: the influence on leather Aromatic syntans are widely used in the (re)tanning of leathers. Phenolic monomers such as phenol, phenolsulfonic acid, bisphenol S, and bisphenol F are common compounds in aromatic syntans. Hans` perspective: Fundamental changes on the horizon for GDA Chinese government implemented legislation under which the handling of chromium-containing waste streams is heavily controlled and restricted. Processes will need to be changed, recipes and articles reformulated, approvals and certifications redone and consumers informed and educated. Regulations on bisphenols What are the current and pending restrictions regarding Bisphenols? An up-to-date overview and timeline of the process. Bisphenols and the relation to leather Bisphenols is a topic of discussion in the leather industry, since the restriction proposal of The European Chemicals Agency. We explain the basics on bisphenols focusing on the leather industry.
