Products Recycling Waste Fur Production: New Capabilities To Use

The article puts forward the thesis that the sustainable development of fur production directly depends on the recycling of its waste and their inclusion as secondary resources or auxiliary means of functional purpose in the process of manufacturing the main products. The authors note that the use of solubilized keratin as a recycling product can bring a tangible economic effect to the enterprise, as well as be very expedient from the standpoint of ecology. The results of studies aimed at obtaining solubilized keratin from some types of keratin-containing wastes of fur production are presented, , the main indicators,of chemical composition are studied,a detailed description of the physicochemical properties of this unique natural biopolymer is given. When evaluating the protective effect of the use of solubilized keratin in the process of dyeing a fur semifinished product, it was shown that an spreading method of applying this functional product on the scalp of a skin is preferable adding it to the dyebath. The use of solubilized keratin in dyeing reliably increases the strength characteristis of the hair due to the formation of electrovalent bonds in the process of sorption and partial adhesion of this pratein component on its surface, increases the resistance of the hair to abrasion.
