Ledermahlgut enthaltende Zusammensetzung für die Herstellung von Formteilen, Verfahren zur Herstellung bzw. Anwendung der Formteile

摘要

The invention relates to a composition that contains leather and/or rubber particles, binders and softeners. The composition is characterized by the properties of natural leather, that is, favorable absorption of humidity, release of humidity, retention of humidity and a long-wearing and flexible behavior while it is easy to process to molded parts. The composition is processed to molded parts by (a) mixing the binder with the softener and the leather and/or rubber particles; (b) transferring the mixture to a mold that is preheated to 120 DEG C to 160 DEG C; (c) heat-treating the mixture in the mold for 3 to 20 minutes at maximally 160 DEG C and (d) cooling and removing the molded part from the mold. The molded parts are useful as components for producing shoes and as sound-absorbing elements for the construction or automotive industry.
