Abstract
A reconstituted leather and method of manufacture wherein leather is pulverized to form a fine powder which is then treated to polarize the particles and cause them to form groups or aggregates. The aggregates are then intermixed with a resinous binder to form said reconstituted leather which is then buffed to expose the natural leather and produce a structure closely resembling natural leather in feel, odor and appearance.

A reconstituted leather product comprising pulverized leather particles polarized to form aggregates or groups of particles, said aggregates being at least partially encapsulated and bonded one to the others by a resin binder to form a sheet material, said sheet material having buffed surfaces and forming a structure closely simulating natural leather in feel, odor and appearance.
The method of making a reconstituted leather composition comprising the steps of pulverizing leather to form fine particles, polarizing said particles to cause them to adhere to form groups of particles or aggregates, binding said aggregates by a resinous binder to form said reconstituted leather and then buffing the surfaces thereof to expose the natural leather particles.
