Content:
Acrylic resin (AR) is a most popular retanning agent due to its selective filling property and advantage of formaldehyde-free. The retanning performance of acrylic resin mainly depends on its penetration depth
and filling parts in leather. Therefore, to improve the retanning performance, it is necessary to fully understand the factors affecting the mass transfer and the distribution of acrylic resin in leather. We have
found that the structure and the charge of leather and the dosage of acrylic resin rather than the molecular weight of acrylic resin are important factors affecting the penetration rate of acrylic resin in
crust leather by using fluorescent tracer technique. In this study, from the view of electrostatic interaction, effects of neutralizing pH and retanning auxiliaries such as phenol sulfonic acid condensation (PSAC) and sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) on the penetration and the distribution of acrylic resin in crust leather were investigated. Higher neutralizing pH led to a faster transfer of acrylic resin in leather because of the decrease in the positive charges of chrome-tanned leather (isoelectric point 7.1) and the increase in the negative charges of acrylic resin. Employing PSAC and CMC enhanced acrylic resin transfer in crust leather due to the dramatic increase in the negative charges of acrylic resin. These results indicated that decreasing the electrostatic binding force between acrylic resin and crust leather is beneficial to the penetration of acrylic resin in leather, which could be achieved by adjusting the neutralizing pH or using acrylic resin together with proper retanning auxiliaries.
Take-Away:
1. Using phenol sulfonic acid condensation and sodium carboxymethylcellulose enhanced acrylic resin transfer in crust leather.
2. Decreasing electrostatic binding force between acrylic resin and crust leather is beneficial to penetration of acrylic resin in leather.
3. Increasing neutralizing pH or using proper retanning auxiliaries can decrease the electrostatic interaction between acrylic resin and crust leather effectively.
