ABSTRACT:
A powdered leather which is composed of at least 85% by weight of cortex, at most 2% by weight of oil and fat, and at most 0.5% by weight of Na.sup.+ and Ca.sup.2+ ions capable of being eluted by water and which has an average particle size (D.sub.50) of at most 7 .mu.m, a standard deviation of the average particle size being at most 3 .mu.m. With this powdered leather, it is possible to thin films, coatings, fibers, etc. which would hardly be deteriorated with time. The powdered leather is produced by providing a powdered leather raw material, grinding the raw material into coarse particles, drying the coarse particles, defatting the dried coarse particles using a solvent, removing the residual solvent from the defatted coarse particles, rinsing the resultant coarse particles, dewatering the rinsed coarse particles, swelling the dewatered coarse particles in steam, redrying the swelled coarse particles, pulverizing the redried coarse particles, classifying the pulverized particles into fine powder and coarse powder, and repulverizing the fine powder so as to have an average particle size (D.sub.50) of at most 7 .mu.m.
