Qualidade dos couros de tilápia, corvina e pescada amarela

Abstract

The leather tanning of fish is a way of alleviating the damage caused by chromium salts to the environment. this work had as objective evaluate the process of tanning leather in the skins in corvina and pescada amarela from fishing made in the northern region of Brasil and tilápia origin of fish farming. The species caught in the fishing of the region present the potential for use in the tanning because they are large, which allows you to add value to the final product. The skins were to the same tanning process not differing in any of its stages. to determine the efficiency of the process, the skins of corvina, pescada amarela and tilapia were submitted to the resistence test the traction, stretching and progressive tear in the longitudinal and transverse directions of the body of the fish and the physical-chemical analysis. the resistance tests the traction and stretching were satisfactory for manufacturing of products and clothing. However, suggests improve the grease of the tanning process.
