Action 2. Environmental impact of fatliquoring agents
Objective: To assess the environmental impact of different commercial
fatliquoring agents
Results:
• There are no relevant differences in the appearance of the leathers
• The polluting load of all baths was quite similar
• All physical properties tested are above recommended thresholds for
their use in shoe uppers, leather goods, upholstery and garments
• None of the families assessed stand out for their lower
environmental impact on wastewater or for their better quality in all
the parameters – we will employ average values as a reference
values

Action 4-6. Environmental impact of natural products
Objective: To assess the environmental impact of natural fatliquoring
products comparing with commercial products (Action 2)
Results:
• Leathers have an acceptable appearance, full and firm, with a soft
and pleasant feel with no significant differences between of the
natural fatliquoring tested
• Natural fatliquoring products were less than the As, Cd and Pb limits
• Comparing between synthetic and natural products with the same
treatment, there was an improvement by:
– 30% in the biodegradability on chlorinated products (FAME vs CLP)
– 42% on sulpho-chlorinated products (FAME_S vs CLP_S )
• The physical and chemical parameters of the leathers are according
to the limits required for footwear manufacture

Fogging Test_1
•
•
•
Fogging refers to the condensation of evaporated, volatile components
of the interior automobile trim materials on the glass plates.
The aim of this test is to increase driving safety, since certain
fatliquorings and plasticisers released from leather can evaporate and
condense on the windshield (due to the difference in temperature
between the inside and the outside of the car) thus forming an opaque
condensate that causes poor visibility.
Fogging test has been carried out according to the European standard
test method for the determination of fogging characteristics for
automotive leathers UNE-EN ISO 17071:2011.
