A new ASTM International standard will provide a test method related to unfixed chrome concentrations in Wet Blue. The standard, soon to be published as D8451, was developed by ASTM’s committee on leather ( D31 ). According to ASTM International member Okey Abara, Wet Blue is an intermediate product used for processing natural hides. It is produced when a tanning agent chemically binds to the…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, David Lee, tel +1.610.832.9681; dlee@astm.org Release #11463 ###, ,

ASTM International’s committee on leather ( D31 ) is developing a proposed standard that will help to assess the effect of various soling agents on leather. The primary aim of the proposed standard ( WK74216 ) is to assess the degree of resistance and cleanability of a leather surface after it has been in contact with potential staining agents. Among the effects covered in the standard are…, Media Inquiries: , Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org , Committee Contact:, David Lee, tel +1.610.832.9681; dlee@astm.org Release #11097 ###

A new ASTM International standard will be used to determine the alkalinity of oils used to soften the stuffing of leather products. ASTM’s leather committee (D31) developed the standard, which will soon be published as D8284. Total alkalinity is a chemical measurement of water’s ability to resist change in pH, also known as water buffering capacity.

If a leather article such as a shoe or a glove were left next to a heater for an extended period of time, would the finish remain soft and flexible or would it change color and develop cracks within the leather finish? A new ASTM International standard will help to answer that question, giving manufacturers a clear method to predict and prevent such problems. ASTM D7912 , Test Method for…, Technical Contact:, Kadir Donmez, Leather Research Laboratory, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio, Phone: 513-242-6300; donmezk@uc.edu, ASTM Staff Contact:, Ashley Wiand, Phone: 610-832-9551; awiand@astm.org, ASTM PR Contact:, Barbara Schindler, Phone: 610-832-9603; bschindl@astm.org Release #9623
