Wise\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProviding excellent insight into the role of science in leather production, the first edition of this textbook was adopted for students and leather chemists. With a new co-author added, the text has been reviewed and brought up to date with regards to developments in technology and science over the last ten year. The revised text importantly reflects changes in the industry and deals with the need to increase sustainable production. Five new chapters are added, dealing with new science and technologies of reagent delivery, the polymer science of finishing (surface coatings), environmental impact and the future of processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book offers a state-of-the-art view of leather making, based on the scientific principles underpinning the technology. In particular, it contributes to the understanding of the modern leather industry, allowing practitioners to make judgements about day-to-day problems in the tannery and how change can be applied in a predictable way. Major themes running through the book are the economics and environmental impact of leather making and how these will ensure the sustainability of the industry.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis second edition of Tony Covington's Tanning Chemistry is a revision, update and extension in collaboration with a new co-author, Will Wise. The update reflects the advances made in the past decade, including a discussion of the impact of new information concerning the chemistry of sulfide. The original chapters have been re-organised and new chapters on novel modes of reagent delivery and the principles of finishing are now included. Enzymology is addressed as a separate topic, as are environmental impact and the future of leather.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book will be useful to all those involved in the supply chain, from farm, through students, chemical suppliers and tanners, to leather goods brands. Leather science is the key to understanding leather technology, to make it work, to make it work better and to keep it ahead of the competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 733\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.6 x 9.2 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 07, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42736557850687,"sku":"9781788012041","price":146.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/10f9180080ff5eea63bf4059aefc83a6.webp?v=1765147042","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/tanning-chemistry-the-science-of-leather-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
