OROPON® MS gran. – Bating agent for soft leathers to optimise cutting yield
Features
®
OROPON MS gran. is an ammonium free bating agent based on
pancreatic enzymes specially formulated as a granulate (low dust
formulation).
®
OROPON MS gran. is best applied between pH 7 and 9.
Handling & storage:
Wear gloves and face mask during handling. CLOSE SACK TIGHTLY
AFTER USE AND STORE IN A DRY PLACE.
Can be stored for about 2 years (from date of production) if kept in a dry
place and protected from heat above 30°C.
Benefits
®
OROPON MS gran. is especially designed to allow an effective bating
process, even on hides and skins which have a poor and sensitive
collagen structure, thus providing optimum cutting yield.
®
OROPON MS gran. slackens the hide structure gently, allowing a deep
bating action without loosening the flanks, thereby facilitating the
preparation of nappa leather-types, with a very good inner softness.
®
OROPON MS gran. ensures good scud loosening and grain cleaning.
®
OROPON MS gran. gives a fine, tight and elastic grain.
Application
OROPON MS gran. is added after the deliming agents.
Deliming agents should be dosed in such a way that the pH value of the
bating liquor remains within the optimum pH activity range (pH 7 – 9),
whilst providing the desired degree of deliming.
The pH value should not be allowed to drop below 5, since otherwise scud
fixation may occur and the outer layers of the pelt, particularly the grain,
may be damaged due to acid swelling.
®
For optimum scud release, compatible surfactants, e.g. BORRON , may
be added to the bate.
®
The bating effect is more pronounced at higher temperatures, e.g. 37°C,
than at lower temperatures. For a uniform bating effect, extend the bating
time at lower temperatures.
