3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes ofthis document, the following terms and definitions apply
3.1
cured
preserved temporarily from putrefaction until it can be tannedNote 1 to entry: Any method of curing, including wet or dry salting or drying, is included
3.2
pigmentationcolouration produced by fungi growing on wet blue chrome leather
Note 1 to entry: The colouration produced by fungi will normally be black, white, green or yellow but can also bepink or violet.
4 Requirements
4.1 Raw material
Wet blue goat skins shall be processed from cured or fresh goat skins
4.2Tanning
After pretanning operations, the skins shall be tanned with basic chromium sulfate as the primary tanningagent. The cut cross-section shall be such that the skin is completely penetrated by the bluish colour ofthechromium sulfate when examined visually. Tanning shall be carried out at a pH of3,0 or above.
4.3 Fungicidal additives
Fungicides shall be used to inhibit mould growths in the wet blue goat skins.
NOTE 1 Fungicides used to inhibit mould growth and pigmentation in wet blue goat skins should be effectiveand should not cause a health hazard. The types of fungicide used and their dosage should preferably be agreedbetween the purchaser and the supplier
NOTE 2Fungicides should preferably be applied in quantities appropriate to ensure storage for up to 4 monthsat the temperature and humidity prevailing during storage or transportation.
4.4 Presentation
Wet blue goat skins shall be well fleshed, and the grain side shall be free from hair, including short hairand fine hair. The size and grading shall be as agreed between the interested parties.
NOTEThe skins should preferably have a tight grain and be free from creases, drum folds and stains causedby iron salts. At least 95 % of the number of pieces in a lot should be free from stains caused by chromium saltsand the aggregate of the stained area in any one piece should not exceed 10 % of the total area of the piece.
4.5 Shrinkage temperature
The shrinkage temperature shall not be less than 95 C, when determined using the method specifiedinIS0 3380
4.6 Chemicalrequirements
Wet blue goat skins shall comply with the requirements given in Table 1.
