 Technology Profile

Title:

Eco-Friendly Flame Retardant Post-Tanning Agent

Value Proposition:
  • The technology involves a flame-retardant (FR) product, a process for the preparation of the FR product, and a process of application of the FR product for making flame-retardant white leather.
  • The formulation primarily finds application in the leather processing industry to produce fire- and flame-retardant white leather. It may also be used for making industrial safety leather apparel.
Summary Application:
  • Environment-friendly and non-toxic
  • Prepared from indigenous chemicals, hence low-cost compared to commercially available flame retardants
  • Required dose 8-12% with respect to the weight of the leather

Advantages:

• Needs no process modification and is suited for all types of raw materials and leathers
• Application of the product to leather reduces the burning rate (flammability degree) by30-40%
