February 2008 Press Release BORRON® DL – Effective lipase based degreasing agent for all beamhouse processes Maximum yield is what makes all tanners tick! With BORRON® DL TFL has launched a new tool to improve cutting yield by boosting the effect of other special chemicals used in the beamhouse. This leads to an improved lay-out and area yield without making grain or bellies loose. The product is supporting the soaking effect and enhancing grease removal especially from the grain. Leather produced with this lipase based degreasing agent features a good uniformity of dyeing and retanning with defects hidden and with a very good inner softness. Treatment with BORRON® DL substantially optimises scud-loosening and hair removal thus improving fine hair and hair root removal. This lipolytic product is readily biodegradable and facilitates removal and degradation of grease in the effluent treatment plant thus substantially reducing COD values.
