Environmentally friendly natural products instead of chloroparaffines in the fatting phase of the tanning cycle (ECOFATTING)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2013,
Background
Chloroparaffin has been widely used in the leather-fatting process owing to its chemical stability, low cost and good performance. Today, however, the requirement to meet high environmental standards means that its use is limited. Chloroparaffin has low biodegradability and a high chlorine content. The EU produces some 150 million m2/year of ca ...
