Process for finishing leather

摘要

In the finishing of leather by spray application in an electrostatic field it is possible to use highly concentrated solutions if these solutions are sprayed into a solvent atmosphere in the presence of inert gases. The finishing process utilizes a solvent atmosphere which has a solvent content of 15-90% of the saturation concentration and a residual oxygen content of less than 10% by volume. The finishes contained are immediately stackable. By working with concentrated solutions it is possible to recycle the solvent from the waste air in an economically acceptable manner.
