To speed-up particular operations one started to use various machines and more aggressive chemicals were used. Acceleration of tanning processes negatively infl uenced the quality and durability of leather. During tanning occur many factors negatively infl uencing the properties of ready product. For example preserving the hides by drying may cause their brittleness, and during soaking bacteria, attacking collagen may develop in excessive amounts. </p>}, journal={Acta Universitatis Nicolai Copernici Zabytkoznawstwo i Konserwatorstwo}, author={Kozielec, Tomasz}, year={2010}, month={cze.}, pages={229–243} }
