TFL’s new products promise further sulfide reduction
19/02/2019
“Although in practice most tanners still run hair-burn processes with huge sulfide offers,” TFL said at the time of the launch, “hair-save systems are rapidly becoming the new industry standard. The main challenge for the tanneries is to remove the hair completely, with a sulfide offer of 1% or less, including a proper removal of hair-roots and fine-hair.”
It said earlier products such as Pellvit LSG and Erhavit LSU had already provided the leather industry with “a cost-effective, ecological and sustainable system to facilitate hair-save unhairing for quality leathers”, but that the arrival of these two new products would allow the industry to reduce its use of sulfide even further.
