Miscellany
In this section we will expose from works not included in any of the previous sections, such as a reference book on leather tanning or biographies of people linked to chemistry and tanning, as well as other works that we believe may be interesting and helpful to our clients or interested persons.
Johann Friedrich Wilhem Adolf von Baeyer’s biography
Born in Berlin (Germany) on October 31, 1835, he was a German chemist and university professor at various German universities. In 1905 he won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the development of organic chemistry using chemical dyes.

William Henry Perkin’s biography
William Henry Perkin was born in London on March 12, 1838; About three months after Victoria’s coronation as Queen of Great Britain and Ireland. He was born at 3 King David Lane, Shadwell, London and was the seventh child and second son of George Fowler Perkin (1802-1865), a mason and carpenter. His early childhood education was received at the Arbor Terrace School located just over 100 yards from his house…

Processing skins with flame retardant effects
The various types of fibers and mixtures of them used in modern fabrics have led to the development of a wide range of products, some of which are mixtures of products, each with different effects, which, above all, provide the required results.

Hydrophobization theory
For a leather to be waterproofed, it is necessary that the surface of the fibers and, above all, the surface of the elemental fibers, be covered with elemental products. Most of these products are heterogeneous compounds and the hydrophilic fatty component can precipitate and deposit around the fiber without chemical bonding.

Surfactant Theory
They are molecules that have a polar/nonpolar (amphiphilic) structure, with a tendency to localize at the interface, forming a monomolecular layer adsorbed on said interface. Surfactant solutions turn out to be active by being placed as a monomolecular layer adsorbed on the surface between the hydrophilic and hydrophobic phases. This location prevents the traffic of molecules that go from the surface to the interior of the liquid in search of a state of lower energy, thus reducing the phenomenon of surface tension.
