Abstract: 3481. Skindfabriken Unicum, K., Bendixen, P., Bendixen & Co., and Bendixen, K. Feb. 12. Leathers; treatment preliminary to tanning; combination tanning processes; chamoising and the like; currying, impregnating, and the like. -Consists in processes for tanning the skins of sharks, porpoises, whales, &c. The skins are unsalted, and the scales or spikes are removed where necessary. They are then softened in warm water, beamed, and treated in a solution of sodium sulphate or white or red arsenic, or in a mixture of arsenic and sodium sulphate. In the case of whale skins, this treatment may be omitted. After this, they are soaked in water containing slaked lime. Next, they are treated with dilute hydrochloric acid, bated with a mixture of poultry dung and chemical bate, washed in warm water and in dilute hydrochloric acid, and tanned with ordinary tanning liquor. Alternatively, after the treatment with hydrochloric acid, they may be milled in salt water and in chrome liquors of increasing strengths, washed free from acid, and milled with sumach extract. They are then dyed, oiled, dried, damped and smoothed out. polished, and bleached. Finally, they are rubbed with albumen and water or skimmed milk, glazed, and grained. Immersion in 1 per cent sulphuric acid may be employed to bring out the grain. For niaking wash-leather, the skins are unsalted, soaked in water with slaked lime, washed in warm water, and wrung dry in sawdust. They are then repeatedly smeared with blubber oil, beaten, and hung out to dry until sufficiently softened, after which they are soaked in warm water, washed in a soda solution until free from grease, and finally dried. Shark skins for conversion into wash-leather are dried and stitched on frames after soakage and the spikes or scales are scraped off. They are next soaked, beamed, and treated with a solution of arsenic or sodium sulphate, or both, and are afterwards treated with as above.
