The aim of this research was to explore the feasibility of converting sheepstomach into new leather and leather products that add value to Leather Park. For this purpose, nine pieces of raw sheep stomach were taken into leather processingoperation i.e. soaking, liming, de-liming, bating, pickling, tanning, finishing etc. After that some physical and chemical tests are subsequently performed i.e. tensile strength, tearing strength, stitch tear strength, color fastness, shrinkage temperature etc. The findings of physical tests have been poor in comparison with grain leather because the composition of raw animal and stomach coverings is different. The stomach leathers can be used as novelty leather material for preparing thekey case, bracelet, wrist watch band, earring or necklace. |
