Production of Elastic Leathers from Horse Raw Material Using Activated Aqueous Solutions of Agent

A step-by-step technology of formation of leather material made of horse raw materials using electrochemically activated aqueous solutions of chemical agents has been developed. Effective implementation of the leather raw material soaking process has been established due to the use of the optimal ratio of catholyte and anolyte. At the same time, environmentally hazardous agents are excluded from the process and its duration is reduced by two times compared to the current technology. The use of working solutions at the stages of liming and tanning with the use of catholyte and anolyte respectively, ensures the exclusion of environmentally hazardous chemical agents and the reduction of the processes duration. The developed technology of production of leather materials, unlike the existing ones, is characterized by simultaneous treatment of all anatomical areas of the hide.
