PELLVIT® CSW
Liquid soaking agent
The secret of a good beamhouse process lies in the soak. To achieve this, the hide
has to be wet back and the surface has to be free of dirt, dung and grease. Universal
surfactants like non-ionic fatty alcohol ethoxylates are often used to perform soaking,
but they can create various problems like excessive removal of natural grease and
thereby create looseness and emptiness in the leather.
TFL launches a new soaking agent in liquid form, PELLVIT® CSW, which is enzymefree and free of nonylphenol ethoxylates. This soaking agent wets back hides well
without mobilising natural grease, resulting in tight and full leathers and thereby
providing a good basis for maximum cutting yields.
The product also optimises the opening-up of the hide structure and promotes the
removal of dirt, blood and dung, even at low temperatures. It provides particularly
clean, smooth pelts and good cutting yields can be achieved, if subsequently
combined with an ERHAVIT® liming agent for improving the efficiency and
penetration of the liming chemicals.
