1. Collagen and skin structure
• Helical structure ends with non-helical
telopeptides
• Telopeptides are partly responsible for
intermolecular cross-linking
• 5 “rows” of molecules with staggered stacking
leads to:
– Gap region with 4 stacking molecules (space for
stain, dark region)
– Overlap region with 5 stacking molecules
– A periodic structure occurs (D-period)
• Collagen fibrils combine into collagen fibers

HAIR BURNING
1) Sulfide reaches the bulb and dissolves
prekeratinised areas.
2) Reductants act on softer keratins (cortex,
epidermis). Melanin affects the dissolution
rate.
3) Cuticle and medulla are not reduced but
hydrolyzed

Immunization of hair
At pH ≥ 11 the OH- ion can attack the methylene
group at the disulfide bond of cystine,
originating Cys and Ser.
This latter loses water and forms
dehydroalanine, that reacts with Cys giving rise
to a stable tioether link →
The hair becomes resistant to chemical burning

Hydrothermal stability
Ts corresponds to the breaking of the hydrogen
bonds in the triple helices
Triple helix → random coil
Ts is measured with ISO 3380. Since T x R = k
(R=rate of heating), R is fixed at 2 °C/min.
Boil test is typically used for leather tanned with
chromium (Ts > 100 °C)

ALDEHYDE TANNING
Formaldehyde is known to have a tanning effect.
On collagen’s side Lys is involved in the reaction.
Prot-NH2 + RCHO → Prot-NH-CH(OH)R
The N-methylol derivative can lose water and
form a Schiff base:
Prot-NH-CH(OH)R → Prot-N=CHR + H2O
165
Prot-NH-CH(OH)R + Prot-NH2 →
Prot-NH-CHR-NH-torP + H2O

WET END
After regulation of thickness by shaving the wet
material is subjected to the following
operations:
1) Retanning
2) Dyeing
3) Fatliquoring
184
92
15. Post tanning
Retanning is conducted with tanning or pseudo-
tanning agents in order to impart the final
“character” to the leather.
It is a major contributor of the fullness, the
handle (haptic) and the mechanical
performances of the finished article.
Virtually all kinds of tanning agents can be used
(metallic salts, aldehydic reagents, hydrogen-
bondable polymers, syntans, etc.)
Chemical modifications include the shift of IEP.
