Dubbin is a wax product used to soften, condition and waterproof leather and other materials. It consists of natural wax, oil and tallow. It is different from shoe polish, which is used to impart shine and colour to leather. Dubbin has been used since medieval times to waterproof and soften leather boots. The name ''dubbin'' is a contraction of the gerund ''dubbing'', describing the action of applying the wax to leather. == References == ;Citations ;Other references *() - Material Safety Data Sheet - Joseph Lyddy dubbin. *() - ''Opportunities for industry and the safe investment of capital'' (1859) Rothman, E., Lippincott, USA *Jarell, T.D., Holman, H.P., (1923) Effects of Treating Materials and Outdoor Exposure upon Water Resistance and Tensile Strength of Cotton Duck, ''Industrial and Engineering Chemistry'', Bureau of Chemistry, Washington. *Norton, F.J., (1945) ''Waterproofing Treatments of Materials'', Patent Number 2386259, Serial Number 452,885, United States Patent Office. *Holman, H.P., Jarrell, T.D., (date unknown) The Effects of Waterproofing Materials and Outdoor Exposure upon the Tensile Strength of Cotton Yarn, ''Industrial and Engineering Chemistry'', 15(3), US Department of Agriculture, Washington. *Stewart, C.S., (1977) Factors Affecting the Cellulolytic Activity of Rumen Contents, ''Applied and Environmental Microbiology'', pp. 497–502 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「dubbin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
