PCT No. PCT/EP93/03350 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 12, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 12, 1995 PCT Filed Nov. 30, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/13716 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 23, 1994The present invention relates to copolymers built up of a) 20-60%-wt. ethylenically unsaturated acid-groups-comprising monomers, b) 40-80%-wt. ethylenically unsaturated glycerol derivatives in which one hydroxyl group of the glycerol is unsubstituted, one hydroxyl group is etherified with (meth)-allyl alcohol and the third hydroxyl group is etherified with a C12-C24-alcohol or C12-C24-alkyl phenol or esterified with a C12-C40-monocarboxylic acid and c) 0-30%-wt. other ethylenically unsaturated monomers copolymerizable with the monomers a) and b), whereby the sum of the monomers a+b+c=100. The present invention further relates to the use of said copolymers for the softening of leather. The copolymers according to the present invention result in an improved exhaustion during the leather treatment.
