[0046] The leather finishing agents of Examples 1-3 and the comparative example were used, and the leather used was chrome-tanned yellow cowhide. The finishing agent was applied to the wet leather surface using a roller coating method. The roller coating was repeated twice, with the first application amount being 9-10 g / sf and the second application amount being 6-7 g / sf. After coating, the leather was oven-dried at 100-120°C for 1-10 minutes to form a crosslinked film.

[0047] The contact angle of liquid droplets and the abrasion resistance (dry and wet rubbing) of the coated leather were measured and shown in Table 2.

[0048] Water drop contact angle measurement: After the painted leather is dried, the water drop contact angle is measured using a contact angle meter.

[0049] Determination of dry and wet rubbing resistance: Add 10% water-based black paste to the finishing agent and apply it to the leather surface with a roller. Then determine the color fastness to rubbing according to the method specified in GB / T3920-2008 "Textiles - Tests for color fastness - Color fastness to rubbing".
