New TFL bating agents help optimise cutting yield
According to specialty chemicals provider TFL, tanners need to use as much of the raw hide as possible because it is the highest cost component in the leather making process. To help tanners optimise the cutting yield, it has introduced two new bating agents: Oropon MS gran and Oropon MT gran.
These newly released pancreatic enzymes gently relax the hide structure and allow deep bating without loosening the grain. They are designed to optimise the area yield while keeping the grain fine and tight, even in the flanks.
Oropon MS gran is formulated to achieve soft nappa leather types with good inner softness. According to the company it gives a fine and soft, yet tight and elastic grain.
Oropon MT gran produces firmer leather articles. It facilitates a fine, tight and elastic grain with good grain enamel.
Both products are said to clean the grain and loosen scud effectively and are safe to handle because of their unique granulate trading form. They are free of ammonium salts and are ideally used together with ammonium-free or low-ammonium deliming systems.
