Leather fibre fabrics prodn. by wet processing - using heat coagulable binder to assist dewatering on the drainage wire

In the prodn. of leather fabrics from leather fibres, binders, and opt. other additives, fibres such as cellulose, cotton linters, etc., heat-sensitised binders are used in emulsion or dispersion form and the binder is coagulated by heating just before entry into the dewatering machine. Process allows leather fabrics to be made with wet conversion of the leather (scrap) into fibres, which gives better fibre structure than dry conversion processes. The use of heat-sensitised binders, which can be coagulated by the introduction of heat just before dewatering, overcomes previous difficulties encountered with systems of this type, in which the swollen leather fibres and the binder caused blockage of the draining wire in the dewatering stage, thus giving very slow rates of prodn. Coagulation of the binder before drainage overcomes this problem and allows increased rates of prodn. to be achieved.
