Fur industry

The broad spectrum of the raw goods occurring in the leather and fur industry [95] necessitates various wet treatment processes in which surfactants and emulsifiers play a big role, e.g., in the regeneration of raw goods, which are preserved with salt, or by drying short-chain sulfosuccinates. To achieve hydro-phobizing effects, sulfosuccinate as emulsifiers are fixed on the surface by salts of aluminum or chromium. 

The variety of applications emphasizes the versatility of naphtha. For example, naphtha is used in paint, printing ink, and polish manufacturing and in the rubber and adhesive industries, as well as in the preparation of edible oils, perfumes, glues, and fats. Further uses are found in the dry-cleaning, leather, and fur industries and in the pesticide field. The characteristics that determine the suitability of naphtha for a particular use are volatility, solvent properties (dissolving power), purity, and odor (generally the lack thereof). 

Castoreum is a byproduct of the fur industry. The beaver pouches are dried in the air or over a wood fire, the color of their contents then changes from yellow to dark brown, and the consistency from a butter-like to resinous character. 

In the modern fur trade, fur is defined as a mammal pelt with all or some hair intact, with an intended use for warmth or adornment, and recognized as an item of commerce in the fur industry. This last requirement separates fur items that are taxable when sold from those that are not.

Once the pod tree [Caesalpinia spinosa) is harvested, it is washed and dried, and then the seed is removed from the pod. Following the separation, the separately ground pit shell, which is an extraordinary product, is exported as a raw material for the production of tannic acid, which is widely used in the chemical, paint, and high-quality fur industries and pharmaceuticals. The seeds, or the pips, after undergoing a thermal-mechanical process, result in a gum from the endosperm, which is an alternative to the traditional rubber in the global food industry, pharmaceuticals, paints, and varnishes, among others. This gum has been approved by resolution of September 26, 1996 (ECC N° E-417) by the European Community for use as a thickener and stabilizer in food for human consumption. Thus came into picture the global market for food hydrocolloids as an alternative product to the locust bean gum, produced in Spain and the Middle East.

The final surface finish of leather goods is now commonly applied in the form of lacquerlike polymer coatings that can be apphed as emulsions and suspensions, using suitable surfactants, of course. Similar apphcations are found in the fur industry.
