Basic Introduction of Huai Goat Board Skin

Huai Goat Board Skin, also known as "Huai Skin" or "Hankou Road Huai Skin", is a specialty of Shenqiu County, Zhoukou City, Henan Province. It is one of China's major traditional export commodities. On June 19, 2015, the former General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine approved the implementation of geographical indication product protection for "Huai Goat Board Skin"

Huai goat veneer, formerly known as the backbone of Hankou Road veneer, is shaped like a frog, with uniform thickness, slightly waxy yellow, oily and shiny, fine and even pores, no white lines when folded, high toughness, high strength, and multiple layers that do not break. The physical and chemical properties are significantly better than other sheepskin, making it an ideal raw material for making high-end leather and soft leather objects. As early as 1861, Sophora japonica was renowned worldwide for its excellent leather quality. In the international market, high-end "Jingyang leather" and "aniline leather" are often derived from locust bark. Exported to more than 20 countries and regions including the UK, US, France, Germany, etc., its price is 40% higher than other sheepskins, and it is popular in the international market. It is still a "fist" product for local specialty exports, with the highest export volume reaching 600000 sheets in a year

What are the product characteristics of Huai goat leather

The average density of the neck, buttocks, and abdomen hair of the Huai goat's leather is 2657 hairs per square centimeter, including 487 needle hairs (coarse hairs) and 2170 villi (fine hairs). The ratio of needle hairs to villi is 1:4.5, and the fineness of needle hairs and villi is 47.12 and 11.40 microns, respectively. The pores of the leather are arranged in a crescent shape

Northwest Institute of Light Industry conducted a histological comparative study on the skin of Huai goat, and the study pointed out that the nipple layer of Huai goat skin (Huai goat skin) has small protrusions, shallow grooves, and finer grain size. The thickness of the nipple layer is greater than that of the reticular layer, especially in the neck where the nipple layer is thicker and the collagen fibers are woven more tightly. The thickness difference of the nipple layer in the neck, buttocks, and abdomen is greater than that of the mesh layer itself. The percentage of nipple layer thickness in the neck and buttocks is relatively small, while it is larger in the abdomen. The collagen fiber bundles in the lower part of the nipple layer and the middle part of the reticular layer are relatively thin and tightly woven. The nipple layer of Sophora japonica has hair follicles, sweat glands, erector spinae muscles, etc., which cause significant differences in tissue structure between the nipple layer and reticular layer, forming a clear boundary between the two layers

Name and Origin of Board Leather During the mid Qing Dynasty, a leather shop in Huaifangdian, Shenqiu County, Henan Province (now Huaidian Town, Shenqiu County) purchased goat board leather from the surrounding area, transported it to Hankou, and then sold it to various parts of the country
