Abstract
The formulation of a retanning mixture composed of a double salt of chrome and aluminium, a chrome-phenolic condensate and an aldehyde tan was optimis ed to improve the physical properties of leather, such as tensile strength and tear strength. This study was carried out in a pilot plant. Ovine Austr alian clothing leathers were used. Other properties related to the handle, wear and thermal characteristics were also studied.
