Leather can be differently heavy. A thick leather is heavier than a thin leather. A stronger oiled leather is heavier than a dry leather. A compressed leather is heavier than a very soft leather with loose fibers and many air pockets in the fiber structure.
For leathers in transport means (vehicles, airplanes), each saved gram means a lower energy consumption. With 400 grams of weight per square meter of leather, extra light weight leather was developed for this purpose. Also in case of leather clothing, a lighter weight is more comfortable to wear, especially in thick and warm winter coats or motorcycle leather suits.
However, in case of reduction in leather weight, the previous stability and quality properties and in particular the reduced flammability and fire retardancy of leather must be retained.
Die Gewichtsreduktion hat auch Vorteile für die Gerbereien. im Herstellungsprozess entsteht weniger Abwasser, und es wird weniger Chemie für die Gerbung verwendet.
Da Leder im Gewicht je nach Luftfeuchtigkeit variiert, muss eine Leder bei kontrollierter Luftfeuchtigkeit gemessen werden, um nachvollziehbare Vergleichswerte zu erhalten.
Each gram saved saves kerosene.
