Abstract

ABSTRACT0193 The usage of three re-tanning levels in engraved leather (2, 4, and 6) % was evaluated in tanning lab facilities of Cattle and livestock Science Faculty at ESPOCH. Six repetitions in two consecutive tests with a completely randomized design and a combinatorial arrangement were carried out. Statistical differences in every physical resistance were registered in the comparative analysis. The results were as follows: the best tearing resistance (60,45 cycles), tension resistance (175,00 N/ cm²), and stretching percentage (83,50%) with 6% of re-tanning. T3- treatment leathers were determined as excellent according to the Kruskall Wallis's sensory evaluation criterion that is, engraving persistence (4, 83 points), brightness (4, 92 points) and filling (4,75 points). Reproducing is gotten not only in the physical resistances but also in sensorial rating when producing engraved leathers in different areas. The engraved-leather production with 6% of re-tanning is more profitable due to the cost-benefit is $ 1.29, that is, 29%. Therefore, it is recommended to produce engraved leathers using 6% of re-tanning because physical resistance and sensory rating were improved. They are really important for the product to be rejected or accepted
