Clariant's EasyWhiteTan proves its versatility in post-tanning
10/5/2011
Muttenz, September 29, 2011 - Clariant's new EasyWhiteTan system not only meets the demands of the wet-end tanning process but the leather produced can also be easily used in post-tanning or retanning operations.
Compared with chrome-free automotive leather, leathers produced with EasyWhite Tan show the same properties and no adjustments are necessary, according to Clariant, one of the leading suppliers of leather chemicals. The crust characteristics for other articles, which are more difficult to produce with existing chrome-free systems, can easily be achieved with the new tanning system. In many cases, the characteristics are similar to conventional chrome tanned leather. Tanners of shoe upper leather have found EasyWhite Tan crust leathers well suited to their sector.
Because most retanning agents, dyes and fatliquors have been developed for application on wet-blue leathers, the main problems with conventional wet-white leather have been associated with the reactivity of the wet-white itself and the fixation of post-tanning products. Often, due to the desired characteristics of the final articles, an excess of these products is necessary to approach chrome leather characteristics. This has a severe impact on the wastewaters with unfixed products and on the physical properties of the final leather produced.
EasyWhite Tan, however, has a cationic character and presents new opportunities for retanning, dyeing and fatliquoring of chrome-free leathers with appropriate post-tanning products and treatment. The leathers produced with Clariant's new tanning process have less stretch and elasticity, with fewer wrinkles and flatter growth marks. Besides having a tight, fine grain, 20% less dyestuffs are required than with conventional wet white. They also have higher light and heat resistance and have no negative influence on water resistant leather if re-chroming is applied.
The EasyWhite Tan process has multiple advantages for processing raw hides; it uses less water, reduces environmental load and wastewater treatment, requires no added salt, and it removes two or three process stages, including the pickle and basification steps. It is also metal, aldehyde and phenol free.
The processing of chrome-free or wet-white leather, however, was, until the advent of the new tanning system, considered to be somewhat difficult. EasyWhite Tan is based on Clariant's Granofin® Easy F-90, a single, easy-to-use liquid tanning agent.
A summary of the characteristics of leather tanned with Granofin® Easy F-90 is given in the attached Table, which clearly demonstrates that the new, simplified tanning system produces leathers that can match those produced by chrome tanning.
Granofin® Easy F-90 tanned leathers have similar key characteristics to those of chrome tanned leathers, with the notable exceptions of any form of metal and the white coloration. The field of application for Granofin® Easy F-90 leathers is very wide and is suitable for use in the production of automotive, shoe upper, and garment leathers among others.
The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner."

"Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
