  • Patent number: 5980578
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for waterproofing leathers, furs and other fibrous materials wherein waterproofing is carried out with conventional water repellents in the presence of dispersing or stabilizing auxiliary agents at pH-values of 3.5 to 5. Alkoxy-groups-containing copolymers, synthetic or natural fatliquors and/or synthetic retanning agents (syntans) are preferably used as dispersing or stabilizing auxiliary agents.

  • Patent number: 5931970
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for improving the waterproofing of hides, skins, leathers, and furs, as well as other fibrous materials, by treatment with special surfactants in the beamhouse and/or in the treatment of the wet blues, prior to waterproofing. Particularly suitable as surfactants are anionic surfactants based on salts of N-acyl-amino acids and nonionic surfactants, such as alkyl polyglycosides or polyethyleneglycol carboxyalkyl ethers. The surfactants are used in amounts of 0.5 to 5% wt., relative to the pelt or shaved weight.

  • Patent number: 5686011
    Abstract: A process is disclosed for waterproofing materials having a fibrous structure, such as leather, persian leather or leather replacement materials, by using waterproofing agents containing sulfosuccinic acid esters. Also disclosed are waterproofing agents used to carry out this process. The sulfosuccinic acid esters are prepared by reacting maleic anhydride with monohydric or polyhydric alcohols, then by sulfitizing them. Reactive siloxanes may also be used as polyhydric alcohols.

  • Patent number: 4631063
    Abstract: A process for the finish dressing of leathers dressed by a mineral or a combined method, by treatment with an aqueous solution of water soluble polymer dressing substances that are polymers of unsaturated monomers that contain sulfonic groups. These polymers contain, if necessary, additional basic units that do not affect the water solubility, these being derived from the comonomers that can be copolymerized with the monomers that contain the sulfonic groups and which do not contain phosphorus.
