Leather Neutralization
by : Rahul Sharma
LEATHER NEUTRALIZATION :
The leather to which the application of the present invention is particularly suited is one which preferbly has no mineral salt content and is one produced using naturally occurring dyes and tanning materials. However, the invention is applicable to leathers having a very light mineral salt content which advantageously does not exceed 5%. It is belived that a leather having a salt content greater than the stated upper limit will be less receptive to the printing process of the instant invention, since the salt will resist the acceptance by the leather of the ink or dye. However, it is posiible to employ leathers with a mineral salt content in excess of the 5% level.
