Chrome shavings are posing a pollution threat. An alkali-enzymatic hydrolysis method was utilized to get collagen hydrolysate (CH) as possible constituent for leather finishing formulations. The new enzyme preparation Vilzim PRO Conc was exploited for the hydrolysis. The dependence of CH properties on conditions of hydrolysis was explored. The direct addition 5% CH into finishing compositions increases tensile strength and relative elongation of films obtained from the compositions. Further increase of the collagen hydrolysate content in the films leads to worse mechanical properties of the films.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
