Exploring leather testing complexity through video tutorials
Following the success of the initial series, GSC Group, a leading Italian chemical company serving the tanning industry, proudly unveils the second series of educational video tutorials. Committed to providing comprehensive services and ensuring high-quality, environmentally sustainable products, GSC Group continues its mission to educate a diverse global audience on the intricacies of chemical and physical tests on leather.
The first series, released earlier this year, achieved remarkable engagement with thousands of views across individual chapters. Focused on the fogging test, a crucial assessment in the automotive sector, the series provided a detailed guide on evaluating condensate deposits on glass caused by volatile organic components in vehicle interiors.
Building on this success, the second series delves even deeper into various aspects of the tanning industry, offering additional insights into its intricacies and the technology behind producing top-notch leather goods. GSC Group, with its state-of-the-art laboratory and a team dedicated to research and development, aims to showcase the professionalism and methodology behind each test, addressing specific technical specifications accompanying customer requests.
Our second series comprises five video tutorials dedicated to one of the most crucial and frequently requested tests in the leather industry: color fastness (resistance) to rubbing. This essential test is conducted across various sectors, including Automotive, Leather Goods, Upholstery, and Footwear, each adhering to stringent technical specifications.
The series provides a comprehensive, step-by-step guide on how to perform the Veslic test, a critical examination necessary to prevent potential complications such as abnormal discolorations and cracks in the finish. This test essentially simulates a “stress-test,” condensing years of normal use into a short timeframe.
Our objective is to embark on a digital project that resonates with the contemporary world while making meaningful contributions to the leather industry. This initiative stands out as a unique endeavor, unexplored by others, serving as a valuable knowledge hub for those beyond our customer base who share an interest in this sector.
We firmly believe that this theme is ideal for exploration, with the potential to evolve into an educational initiative catering to our customers, operators, students, and enthusiasts worldwide. Beginning with a focus on tests, we aim to provide a tool for comprehending the intricacies, procedures, and outcomes of daily tests mandated by current regulations, with a specific emphasis on environmental impact.
