3 B1. Demonstration of use of commercial metal-free acid dyes on leather dyeing Objective: Obtain leathers dyed with commercial metal-free acid dyes, which will be employed as a reference for natural dyes evaluation Tasks: –Selection of commercial metal-free acid dyes: 15 monochromatic samples + 10 combinated samples –Definition of the leather post-tanning process: neutralization, retanning, fatliquoring and dyeing –Dyeing test at laboratory level –Evaluation of dyeing baths exhaustion by UV-V Espectroscopy Responsible: COLORTEX - INESCOP

4 B2. Demonstration of the quality features of dyed leather with metal-free acid dyes Objective: Evaluate properties of commercial metal-free acid dyes in the leather dyeing process, which will be employed as a reference for natural dyes properties evaluation Tasks: Responsible: COLORTEX - INESCOP Dye fastness evaluation test: – to rubbing (wet and dry) – to light – to PVC migration – to water – to perspiration – to washing Physical properties: – tensile strenght – elongation at break – tear strenght

5 C1. Monitoring on the environmental impact of acid dyes within leather manufacture Objective: Quantify and evaluate the environmental impact of dyeing residual bath which will be employed as a reference for natural dyes properties evaluation Tasks: Chemical analysis of dyeing residual bath (Standard Methods): − pH − Conductivity − COD − BOD − Biodegradability Responsible: INESCOP

6 COD vs BOD

7 Biodegradability (BOD/COD)

B6. Demonstration of naturalised dyes at pilot scale level Objective: Evaluate properties of naturalised dyes in the leather dyeing process by comparing with commercial metal-free acid dyes Tasks: Responsible: COLORTEX - INESCOP Dye fastness evaluation test: – to rubbing (wet and dry) – to light – to PVC migration – to water – to perspiration – to washing Physical properties: – tensile strenght – elongation at break – tear strenght
