The invention discloses transparent leather which is characterized by the light
transmittance being 50-85%, the thickness being 0.5-1.5 mm, the softness being 4.0-8.0, the
moisture content being 8-20%, and the shrinkage temperature being 50-70 DEG C. The transparent leather takes delimed and softened pelts as raw materials, the pelts are immersed in an
aqueous solution for 0.5-4 h through an expansion agent with the
mass accounting for 0.3-2.5% of the
mass of the delimed and softened pelts, the expanded pelts are aired, then the aired pelts are immersed in a transparent liquid for 1-6 h, wherein the
mass of the transparent liquid accounts for 50-200% of the mass of the delimed and softened pelts, the transparent liquid is composed of, by mass, 40-90% of water, 10-60% of polyhydric alcohols, 0.01-0.1% of nano-silver, and 0.01-0.1% of curing agent, and finally the leather treated by the transparent liquid is aired, and thus the transparent leather is obtained. The prepared transparent leather has the similar softness, fullness, flexural resistance and other sensory properties and service properties with traditional leather, but has the transparency which is not possessed by the traditional leather, and is a brand new type of leather. According to a transparent leather manufacturing method, materials in use have a wide source range, the manufacturing process is easy to operate, and practicality is high.
