Imparting Water Repellency to Leather through an Organo Metallic Chromium Complex

Abstract

Organometallic compounds are finding novel applications and benefitting mankind in many ways. The present work relates to the development of such compounds that shall be locally available, cheap, durable and compatible water repellent for leather. The work methodology is so that first there is selection of method of preparation in which the easiest and most economical method is selected. Suitable methods of applications are then elucidated. Finally, some necessary tests of performance are conducted. There are certain weak areas, which are highlighted
