THE INFLUENCE OF NEW PRESERVATION PRODUCTS ON VEGETABLE TANNED LEATHER FOR HERITAGE OBJECT RESTORATION
Journal Title: Revista de Pielărie Încălţăminte - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper studied the effect of four materials for the preservation of collagen-based heritage objects. The products developed were applied to new leather samples tanned with vegetable tanning agents such as quebracho and mimosa, which were then subjected to accelerated ageing for 24, 48 and 72 hours, at the temperature of 50°C. The effects of the new environmentally-friendly materials applied to leather were assessed according to a characterisation protocol specific for preservation and restoration of collagen-based heritage objects. The effects of the new formulations on vegetable tanned leather were assessed using the characterisation protocol that includes physical-chemical and organoleptic analyses in terms of colour change, handle, uniform spread, hydrophobisation (resistance to water drop and penetration time). Colour change was determined and assessed using Datacolor CHECK II portable spectrophotometer, and CIEL*a*b* and CIEL*C*h software, obtaining chromatic coordinates for each leather sample treated with the studied formulations. Treatments have caused some changes in leather characteristics, depending on the product applied.
