Abstract: Quality leather in Indonesia has been recognized by the world as the skin with best quality. The statement
could not be separated from the freeing Indonesia from the skin and mouth disease being the biggest factor
declining quality of animal skins in the world. Even so, Indonesia has several problems being faced, namely
the lack of supply of quality leather to meet the needs of domestic leather. In fact, some industries are still
imported materials (chemicals and raw materials) from the outside, so the effect on the price and availability
of materials. Mostly, the low quality of the skin on the market thus lowering the image of products made of
leather. Therefore, the authors sought to raise the image of a low-quality leather into a high value product at
home and abroad.
1 INTRODUCTION
Leather industry in Indonesia entered the round
priorities become the focus of government in
Indonesia. Through the National Industrial
Development Master Plan (RIPIN) from 2015 to
2035, the leather industry to be part of the six
segments of the mainstay industries and 10 industry
segments priority for developed countries during the
period 2015-2035. It is considered as the leather
industry has a high international competitiveness and
high labor intensive than most other industry
segments.
Even so, in fact, jacket industry in Indonesia still
face many obstacles, such as there are many damaged
skin resulting in lower quality. Skin damage is caused
by several factors, namely the outside and inside
factors. Factor in, the damage to the skin gained
during the life of the animal. For example, because
wounds from fighting or tearing of the skin because
of a sharp object during life. Skin wounds during an
animal life will harden and can not be cured back. In
addition to injuries, the animal can be exposed to the
disease or parasite that settle on the animal's body for
life. For example, the ticks that cause the animal's
skin has a lot of bumps and hardened skin. Lumps and
hardening of the skin for ticks, also can not be
restored. Or from larvae into the animal's body,
causing the animal skin perforated.
The external factors that lead to decreased quality
of tanned animal skin is of human resources (HR)
skinning the animal or the treatment of humans
during the process leading to leather. The lack of
human skills as an operational force, it is possible to
make the skin is damaged or defective.
Indonesia skin quality with competitiveness
International, in fact, is not accompanied by the
availability of adequate skin to skin with good
quality, so the price of leather in Indonesia is higher
than any other country. In addition, a variety of tools
and chemicals for tanning purposes, the majority
coming from the Chinese State, where not all of the
tools able to buy the leather industry in Indonesia,
especially for the leather industry based home
industry.
Therefore, various treatments have been
undertaken to improve the quality of the leather back
has been sorted. Through this research, the authors
conducted a variety of experiments and treatments in
order to improve the quality of leather that has been
declining.
