Helps prevent uneven swelling/wrinkling of the hides or skins during liming through chemical penetration.
- GBlanon fixer as a low sulphide unhairing agents:
Reduces the amount of sulphides used in a tannery and with it, reducing its environmental impact.
- GBalkaline buffer as a replacement for soda ash and sodium bicarbonate:
Raises the pH of the hides or skins during the soaking or liming process.
- GBcid AS as sodium formate and as an organic-acid deliming chemical:
Helps raise the pH during the neutralization process and replaces traditional ammonium salts when deliming hides and skins therefore helping reduce the ammonium salt pollution in tannery wastewaters.
- GBacrylic retarder as a replacement for salt:
Used during the pickling process to prevent acid swelling of the hides or skins.
- GBkol MSD / GBsequestering TAs as a salt-free pickling chemical:
Replaces traditional pickling-salt and greatly reduces salts in tannery wastewaters.
- GBbleaching powder/ GBscour KB as an aldehyde tanning agent:
Makes wet white.
- GBdensol FM as a replacement for magnesium oxide and GBalkaline buffer as a replacement for sodium bicarbonate:
Both raise the pH of the hide during the basification process and allows chromium or aldehyde to chemically bind to skin or hide protein.
Dyehouse
