Elaboración de Cuero BROSS-UPP, para Calzado Masculino Utilizando tres de Diferentes Niveles de Filler de Alta Densidad

Abstract

In the leather tanning laboratory, Animal Science Faculty of the Superior Polytechnic School of Chimborazo, bross-up leather for men's use was elaborated using different levels of high density filler, the experimental units 36 goat skins were modeled under a completely randomized design in bifactorial accordance, with three treatments, six experiments units and two trails. In the physical resistance analysis bross-up leather reported the highest tensile strength (2594,83 Newton/cm), elongation percentage (56,67%), and friction resistence (4,75 cycles), with 150 g filler application, as in the sensory evaluation, since the highest results were the 4,83 points fullness, 4,75 points softness and 4,83 points covering power with the 150 g filler application. The trials effect did not report statistical differences, the bross-up leather physical and sensorial quality is homogenized in each one of the produced items. The highest benefit cost ratio was reported to 150 g of high density filler, (B/C 1,19); because for each dollar invested a profit of 19 cents is expected. It is recommended to produce a material with physical resistence exceeding requirements of quality footwear leather of the running agencies, and with good sensory benefits, working with 150 g of high density filler.
