EFFECTS OF FATLIQURING PROCESS ON LEATHERS COLOURED WITH IR REFLECTIVE DYES AND PIGMENTS

Abstract
Black coloured materials and consumer goods are known to be heating up more, because they absorb sun radiation more than light colours. This heating is a problem for the users for black automotive or motorcycle leathers and also for dark shoes and boots which are exposed to sun heat. Human vision system can distinguish visible colours between the wavelengths of 390-700 nm. So reflecting the sun radiation in the infrared area of radiation spectrum higher than 700nm, is a solution for heating problem without affecting the visible colour. For this reason IR reflective dyes and pigments are designed. A leading Leather Chemical Company has developed an IR reflecting dyeing system for leather keeping the dark coloured leathers cooler under sun radiation. Additionally in theory, fat and water content of leather affects its heating properties. In this study, effect of natural, synthetic and waterproof fatliquoring systems on heating properties of leathers coloured with IR reflective dyes and pigments are investigated.

STUDY REGARDING THE PATTERN DESIGN FOR FOOTWEAR WITH AND WITHOUT PREMOULDING OF THE VAMP
When it comes to footwear design, independently from the type of shoe that is to be designed (pumps, boots, ankle boots), there are different situations where the vamp is brought up to the leg. Specific for this choice o...
COMPARISON OF MOISTURE RELATED PROPERTIES OF PET/CV BLENDED NONWOVEN FABRICS
Moisture related properties of polyester (PET) / viscose (CV) nonwoven fabrics were investigated in this research. Four different nonwoven fabrics, PCV0, PCV1, PCV2 and PCV3, having different viscose proportion namely 0%...
EFFECT OF POLIESTER POY FIBRE CROSS-SECTION ON THE YARN PROPERTIES OF AIRJET TEXTURING
POY yarns are well know and commercialized since 1970s. On the other hand, air-jet textured yarns are very common due to their unique structure which looks like natural spun-staple yarns. In the air-jet texturing process...
IMPROVING KNITTED FABRICS BY A STATISTICAL CONTROL OF DIMENSIONAL CHANGES AFTER THE DYEING PROCESS
One of the most important problems that cotton knitted fabrics present during the manufacturing process is their dimensional instability, which needs to be minimised. Some of the variables that intervene in fabric shrink...
