INTRODUCTION
The study guide focuses on the fur processing technologies including
preliminary preparation, dressing, dyeing and finishing prosseses for manufactiring various fur raw materials. The study guide presents the main characteristics of semi-finished fur products and the main process prameters of
their manufacture. It is intended for Bachelor’s degree program "Technologies of Textile Industry".
The fur industry processes fur and sheepskin raw materials and manufactures various fur and fur coat products.
Historically, Russia possesses enormous fur resources. Therefore, our ancestors revered furs and believed that they were one of the indicators of wellbeing. In the past, furs were used as money. The names of some banknotes
came from the names of some parts of the skins. In ancient Novgorod, a dime
was called as the scruff of the neck of an animal (hryvvenik in Russia).
Skins of marten, sable, ermine, beaver, leopard, fox, and squirrel were
the most popular furs in Russia. The common people wore clothes made of
goat skins and sheepskins.
skills from generation to generation as professional secrets.
the fur manufacturing technologies, which were used by our ancestors, have
not been completely preserved. Starting from the 17
methods for various types of furs and fur raw materials were described in
more or less detail.
The processing of skins was carried out according to the following
scheme. The skin was soaked in a river or in a pond for 6–12 hours, fleshed
with a blunt scythe and fermented in vats for 6–7 days. The fermentive solution
was made from water, flour and salt. After the fermentation, the skins were
hung out on poles to dry in the summer or to freeze the moisture in the winter.
Sheepskins were crumpled with an iron hook and combed with a sharp iron
comb. Finally, their flesh sides were rubbed with calcined gypsum.
To carry out the tanning process, the skins were folded in rows with
the hair down, covered with oak bark, poured with fermentive solution and
left under the load for a week. The procedure was repeated 2–3 times, after
which the skins were dried and curried. The removal of grease was carried
out with clay and gypsum.
Fur skins were not tanned. They are tumbled with feet. The fur side was
cleaned using flour. In Russia, the furs of such animals as white hare,

squirrel, marten, and sable were curried with high quality. For example,
the Germans gave squirrel skins for currying in the Russian town of Slobodskoy. However, finishing and dyeing processes were not well developed in
Russia. Russian furs were famous for their extraordinary beauty, so little attention was paid to their finishing decoration.
The first attempt at dyeing fur in Russia dates back to the second half of
th
the 17
century, when the skins were smoked or rubbed with soot to obtain
a darker color. Then the fur was dyed using vegetables dyes. A great achievement of the first half of the 19
in a solution of dyes and mordants. In the 60s of the 19
th
century was the dipping treatment of skins
th
century, campesh
and turmeric were used as dyes.
Until the 80s of the 19
th
century, the fur dyeing was handicraft. Later,
manufactories were opened in Moscow and St. Petersburg. In 1899, a fur
factory was founded in the town of Slobodskoy.
A significant transformation of Russian fur factories began in the 1920s.
Large fur factories were reconstructed and built in Moscow, Kazan, Leningrad, Kharkov, Kirov, etc. Central Research Laboratory was established.
In 1943, it was transformed into Russian Research Institute of Fur Industry.
The technology of skin processing was improved. Fur factories were
equipped with new equipment.
During the Great Patriotic War (1941–1945), the fur industry provided
the Soviet army with warm clothing. In the post-war years, a number of large
fur factories were built in Moscow, Baltsy (Moldova) and Kaunas (Lithuania). Many factories were reconstructed. The volune of processing of various
types of raw materials (skins of mink, blue fox, silver-black fox, rabbit, astrakhan, and sheepskin) increased due to the rapid development of agriculture and fur farming. The technologies for finishing and decorating fur sheepskins were developed. They led to the improvement of quality and appearance of products, as well as the finished product range was expanded.
Nowadays, the fur industry aims at reorganizing and improving
the manufacture of fur products and developing new industrial technologies.
Therefore, the main technological tasks of the fur industry are:
• creation of multilevel modular manufacture for the commercial processing of raw materials using advanced technologies;
• use of efficient equipment and high-quality chemical materials;
• introduction of process automation in the preparation of working so-
lutions and automated control of process parameters (temperature,
float ratio, concentration, pH, etc.).

The solution of these tasks is one of the priorities of the fur industry due
to its high share of the cost of fur semi-finished products (up to 70 %) in
the production cost.
In addition, the fur industry aims at increasing the environmental safety
of fur processing. The fur factories use a huge amount of running water,
which is usually discharged into nearby rivers after passing through the production cycle. Futhermore, the creation and application of waste-free technologies and the reuse of fur production waste are the important tasks of
the fur industry.

1. FUR PROCESSING TECHNOLOGIES. MAIN
PRINCIPLES
1.1. Classification of fur products and
raw materials
Fur products are devided into:
• raw materials (fur and sheepskin);
• semi-finished products (fur and sheepskin);
• finished fur products
Fur products are the products of furrier factories. We will consider
the first two groups (raw materials and semi-finished products) which are
processed and dyed at the factories.
Fur raw materials are classified as:
1. Fur raw materials:
– winter type;
– spring type.
2. Furskin raw materials:
– winter type;
– spring type.
3. Furskins of sea animals.
4. Sheepskins.
Fur semi-finished products are devided into:
1) astrakhan fur;
2) lambskins;
3) sheepskins;
4) woolskins;
5) fur skins of sea animals;
7) fur plates, furs and fur trims.
Fur raw materials are skins of wild and domestic animals with high quality of the hair and leather, which are suitable for manufacturing various fur
products.
Fur semi-finished products are processed and sometimes dyed and cut.
.

Fur skins are unmanufactured hides or skins of fur-bearing animals,
which are hunted or bred in fur farms. According to the season of hunting fur
skins are subdivided into raw materials of winter and spring types.
1.2. Properties of fur raw materials
The quality of the skin is characterized by the following properties:
• thickness and uniformity;
• area size;
• weight;
• density;
• thickness of the epidermis and subcutaneous tissue;
• degree of development of the hair;
• ratio of papillary and reticular layers of the dermis;
• plexus of fibers in the dermis;
• degree of development of topographic areas;
• chemical and protein composition;
• defects.
These properties depend on the method of skin processing. The nature
of the fur skin is one of the most important characteristics for determining
the quality of raw materials.
For different types of fur raw materials, the thickness and strength of
the skin vary significantly for different topographic areas.
most resisting part of the skin is the animal backbone.
The skin area may vary in a wide range from 100 to 20,000 cm
Typically, the

The skin weight also varies significantly depending on the type of raw
materials.
The skin density determines the duration of skin processing. The rate of
diffusion of various substances affects the tensile strength of the skins.
The degree of development of the hair affects the dermis yield.
The more developed the skin hair, the lower the yield of the dermis, since
the weight of raw material includes the weight of wool. The more hair on
the skin, the less the strength of the papillary layer of the dermis. The degree

of development of skin hair and its density determine the heat saving and
wear resistance properties of the fur. The nature of the fur skin and its
strength characteristics are of importance for assessing the quality of fur raw
materials.
The thickness of the subcutaneous tissue varies greatly depending on
the nature of raw materials. The share of subcutaneous tissue accounts for
10–25 % of the mass of skins. The smaller the thickness of the subcutaneous
tissue, the greater the yield of finished products, and the less the waste.
The ratio of the papillary and reticular layers of the dermis affects its
properties. The papillary layer can make up 20–70 % of the thickness of
the entire dermis. Generally, the reticular layer determines the tensile
strength of fur raw materials. The papillary layer mainly determines the softness of fur skins.
The chemical composition of skins has a great influence on their properties. The most important components of fur skins are proteins: collagen and
keratin. The content of other constituents (water, fats) varies from 70 % to
75 %, which affects the relative content of proteins.
The defects affect the quality of fur raw materials. The more the defects,
the more they affect the quality of topographic areas of the skin, and the
worse its quality.
The properties that characterize the quality of raw materials may change
under the influence of some factors, such as the origin and living conditions
of an animal; slaughtering methods; primary processing; storage conditions.
1.3. Properties of semi- finished fur products
The main properties of semi-finished fur products correspond to consumer, sanitary and hygienic requirements.
The main consumer properties of semi-finished fur products are:
• beauty;
• strength
,
• wear-resistance,
• heat protection.

10
The beauty of a fur coat depends on the shine, softness, fluffiness,
height, color and friability of the hair. The wear resistance of the fur is determined by the strength of the bond between the hair and the skin and the
strength of the hair itself.
Sanitary and hygienic properties of semi-finished fur products are characterized by their ability to pass air, not to interfere with the removal of
sweat, resistance to moisture. Fur and sheepskin semi-finished products are
good heat accumulators due to the hair structure and skin microstructure.
It characterizes heat saving properties of final products.
The most common defects of a fur semi-finished product are those that
are not corrected or removed during the processing of raw materials. Defects
may form during the processes of cutting, milling, washing, dyeing and
bleaching of the skins. Defects are evaluated either in linear units of measurement or in units of area, or in pieces.
The properties of a semi-finished fur product combine the properties of
the hair and fur skin as a whole.
The properties of the hair are:
• height (length);
• density;
• softne
ss;
• strength;
• crease;
• elasticity;
• felting;
• color and color fastness;
• soiling;
• gloss.
The quality of fur skins is characterized by the following properties:
• thickness;
• strength of the face layer;
• seam strength;
• plasticity;
• ductility;
• elongation;
• wetness;
• shrinkage temperature;
