Evaluación de dos Sistemas de Pelambre para Cuero Ovino Destinado a Calzado Femenino.

Abstract

At the Skin Tanning laboratory of “ESPOCH”, two sheep skin fellmongering systems intended for women’s footwear manufacturing, were compared by using two treatments , eight repetitions and in two consecutive trials resulting in thirtytwo experimental units. The experimental results were modeled under bifactorial completely at random design. In the resistance – tension physical feature analysis (1577,63N/cm2) and lastometry (6,56 mm), reduction – oxidation fellmongering got the highest values since the produced material registered good elongation conditions, high resistence to stretching without breaking its fibrillar structure, whereas the best elongation was reached with a traditional fellmongering system (47,04%). Reduction – oxidation dehairing got the best scores in the sensory analysis (T2), excellent fullness (4,75 marks), softness with a similar score of 4,69 marks , that is, a very good condition. Hides treated with redox system reported the highest profit as to benefit/ cost, due to the value was 1,36, that is, it is expected a profit of 36% for each dolar spend . it is recommended to use the redox system in sheep skin fellmongering because it not only upgrades the physical resistances as so to exceed the quality demands of technical leather regulations but also decreases the tanning waste pollution remarkably
