The invention relates to specific chrome tanning agents and also to their use for the tanning of hides and skins, and to the leather and pelts obtainable as a result. It further provides a new process wherein the protein-masked chrome tanning agents of the invention are obtained from materials containing chromium and collagen, more particularly from leather production wastes such as leather shavings, for example. This enables recycling of chromium-containing leather production wastes, thereby permitting a significant reduction in the amount of such wastes, a fact which leads to considerable economic, environmental and logistical advantages.
A device for determining a polarization state of an electromagnetic wave includes a power splitter that splits an electromagnetic input wave into at least three partial waves; and at least three polarization converters for changing the polarization state of the partial waves. One of the polarization converters is associated with one of the three partial waves. The device includes an output coupler to which the partial waves are supplied after passing through the respective polarization converter and which includes at least three outputs. The output coupler is configured and the polarization converters are arranged and configured such that output waves exiting from the outputs of the output coupler have an intensity that each is dependent on one of the Stokes parameters of the input wave.
A composition including an acetal of an aldehydic tanning agent for tanning hides and/or pelts, as well as a method for tanning hides and/or pelts in order to produce leather, wherein an acetal of an aldehydic tanning agent is used. By reducing the pH, the aldehydic tanning agent can be released, whereby a tanning step is initiated. The composition according to the invention and the method according to the invention are characterized by lower toxicity compared to conventional compositions and tanning methods based on aldehydic tanning agents. Furthermore, improved penetration of the tanning agents into deeper layers of the hide and/or the pelt is possible, so that particularly homogeneous tanning is achieved.

A coated leather, in particular split cowhide leather, has a preferably nubuck-like appearing surface structure. The coating is formed with a surface layer formed with a mechanically and moisture-stable polymer and bonded to the surface of the leather or split leather by a polymer-based bonding layer. The outer layer is notable for inner smoothness and is formed with soft polyurethane. It includes in the non-embossed region microdepressions which are essentially closed in the direction of the leather but are open towards the outside, have an internal width of less than 130 μm and are arranged close-packed to each other in the manner of soapy foam cells. The microdepressions are each separately bounded by thin mutually crosslinked stays which have on the outside a matt or finely fibrous fine-roughness structure surface, and have an essentially semispherical-shaped concave inner surface which faces outward and is smooth. The coating may include two or more layers that are riveted to each other by way of pins or the like that are anchored in pores.
The invention relates to a multilayered cut-to-size format comprising a thin, polyurethane-based coating (2) bonded via a polyurethane adhesive layer (3) to a textile backing (4).
