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
