Granted: 1910-01-27
Abstract: 9870. McLennan, A. April 26. Impregnating-compositions; waterproofing.- Consists 'in improvements in the process described in Specification 19,443/05 for impregnating leather with india-rubber after a preliminary treatment with a clarifying-solution. The leather is fat-liquored, dried, and buffed up, as before, and, after treatment with the clarifying-solution, is placed in an hermeticallyclosed vessel for about 48 hours. It is then dried bv heat and treated with rubber solutions while still warm, the containing vessel being jacketed for this object.' The clarifying-solution is made with the following ingredients in stated proportions: -Sulphur is added to carbon bisulphide, and to the strained solution is added a mixture which precipitates the undissolved sulphur and dissolves out fats. The mixture preferably comprises sulphuric ether, benzol, naphtha, benzine, paraffin oil, and rectified spirit of turpentine, the last two ingredients being omitted when light skins are being treated. The leather is immersed in, or sprayed with, these mixtures, to which benzine is added. The three rubber solutions, which are of increasing strengths, are preferably prepared from a stock solution formed by dissolvirig Para rubber in naphtha in stated proportions. The first bath consists of the stock solution diluted with benzine, and, during its application, the hides are agitated in the bath or removed from time to time and worked by hand. The second bath consists of a mixture of the stock solution and benzine with a sulphur mixture containing sulphur, carbon bisulphide, sulphur chloride, sulphuric ether, benzol, benzine, and naphtha in stated proportions. The object of the last four ingredients is to precipitate the undissolved sulphur. The last rubber bath is applied in a drum, and consists of a thick mixture of the stock solution, benzine, and the abovementioned sulphur-chloride solution. The surplus rubber is scraped from the hides which after being rubbed with a cloth and dipped in benzine are partly dried and finally rolled up.
