Faux Leather Incomparable Style Hyde Me – Faux Leather Incomparable style. Extraordinary performance. Silver State Inc.® is proud to announce Hyde Me, an exciting collection of faux leather. This addition to the Silver State fabrics™ line has an improved “real leather” hand and appearance that features fashion forward colors which will have you question whether these are real or faux leather hides. ResilienceSR has been added to three of the new patterns for stain, anti- bacterial and anti-microbial resistance. The Hyde Me design team focused on reproducing leather hides inspired by exotic animals such as crocodiles, ostrich, lizards and rhinos, as well as representing natural woven textures such as basket-weaves and woven braids. The best leather looks have an appearance of smooth leather grain, or in the case of a more vintage aesthetic, a distressed leather grain. Hyde Me combines performance attributes of cleanability and durability of vinyl with the textural hand of leather. This collection has been competitively priced with traditional vinyl collections. Silver State fabrics offers a stunning, yet practical line of fabric and vinyl suitable to a host of multiple applications: residential, commercial, health care, hospitality, automotive, and marine. Silver State Fabrics are available in a multitude of textures, patterns and colors, many of which are designed to repel stains, moisture and mildew, and bacteria. Where durability and fade resistance have to balance style, exclusivity and touch, we have led the way in the use of decorative fabrics for performance applications with such recognized brands as Sunbrella® and Crypton® as well as the environmentally intelligent and elegant collection, Smart Life, by Terratex®. Featured on the cover from Top to Bottom: Rattan in Copper, Tundra in Harvest, Ostrich in Nutmeg, Rhino in Earth, Madagascar in Earth and Pebble Beach in Earth. Chaparral High glaze finish provides a “patent leather” look to this moderately distressed faux leather grain.

  • Water Management in Leather Industry
    Journal of Scientific & Industrial Research Vol. 60, June 2001, pp 443-450 Water Management in Leather Industry V John Sundar, R Ramesh, PS Rao, P Saravanan, B Sridharnath and C Muralidharan Central Leather Research Institute, Adyar, Chennai 600 020, India Received: 02 June 2000; accepted: 10 November 2000 Leather industry, like paper and textile industries, consumes large quantities of water. Such excessive usage, resulting from adoption of traditional processing methods and equipments, lead to acute water availability and eftluent treatment problems. Presently, about 30 billion litres of water is being used by this industry annually. A systematic study made at CLRI to reduce the excessive usage and further minimise water consumption in leather processing through optimisation and recycle and reuse strategies. The role of newer equipments, such as the hide processor and th e compartmental drum in minimising water usage in leather processing has also been studied extensively. Most of the protocols standardised at CLRI were implemented at select tanneries in Indi a and Sri Lanka, which resulted in better water management in the leather processing industry. The results of such detailed studies have been incorporated in the paper. Introduction vation efforts. The major responsibility, however, falls Water utilisation by mankind may be divided into three on the industry. broad categories, agricultural, domestic and industrial. Apparently, there is no dearth of water as 80 per cent of the earth's surface is covered by water. Even then, the Water Usage in Leather Industry world is heading towards a water crisis because 97.5 per cent of the global water reserve is salt water and only Water is an important medium in leather processing.

  • General Pests
    Kentucky Pesticide Education Program copyright © 2016 University of Kentucky Department of Entomology General Pests Written by: Michael F. Potter and G. Mark Beavers Ants Ants are the most frequent and persistent pests encountered around homes and buildings. Dozens of different species occur around homes and buildings, each has unique characteristics that may influence the most effective control method to use. In Kentucky, the most common house-invading ants include pavement ants, carpenter ants, acrobat ants, and odorous house ants. Besides being a nuisance, ants contaminate food, build unsightly mounds, or cause structural damage by hollowing out wood for nesting. Most species of these social insects live in belowground colonies. Exceptions include carpenter ants and acrobat ants that live in moist wood. Some species enter buildings in search of sweet or fatty substances. Others live in lawns and gardens or under rocks, patios, or sidewalks. While many of these species do not enter buildings, the mounds of fine soil that they bring to the surface while excavating can be a nuisance. Wingless worker ant with elbowed antennae and narrow waist between thorax and abdomen. (www.antark.net) Ants range from less than 1/8-inch to 1/2-inch long. Most have black bodies but some are yellow or red. All have chewing mouthparts. Ants undergo complete metamorphosis with 4 life stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Ants are social insects that live in cooperative, intermingling colonies consisting of hundreds to thousands of individuals. There are different types of individuals (castes) in each colony that perform specific functions. All ant colonies contain one or more egg-laying queens.

  • About Leather Types of Leather
    About Leather Types of Leather Leather is an ancient, durable material created through a process of tanning animal rawhide to preserve it and make it pliable when dry. Many features of natural leather make it superior to synthetic products including durability, comfort, beauty, suppleness, and resilience. Plus, leather’s ability to patina and absorb body oils continues to enhance the leather’s appearance and makes it more beautiful over time. Leather can broadly be divided into full grain, enhanced grain, corrected grain, top grain and split leathers. Full Grain Leather Full grain leather has no surface alterations. The hide’s natural pores and grain textures are intact and it will develop a patina over time. The tiny pinholes dotting the surface indicate the hide’s open hair follicles. The presence of these hair follicles demonstrates a high quality surface which has not been altered to conceal flaws. This full grain surface breathes. It keeps the user Full grain comfortable as it adjusts to body temperature. Full grain leather is the highest quality, most beautiful, and most comfortable leather available. Enhanced Grain Leather Enhanced grain leather is a full grain with an artificial grain embossed over the natural grain. Enhanced grain leather has the same comfort and breathability of a full grain, but the surface has received minor alteration to improve grain Enhanced grain appearance. Corrected Grain Leather Corrected grain leather is produced from the upper portion of the hide. The surface is lightly sanded or refined then embossed with an artificial grain texture. Corrected grain leathers have a more consistent appearance across the entire surface.
