BORRON® LB is active in the acid, neutral and highly alkaline pH range.
Handling:

Storage stability:
Can be stored for about 2 years (from date of production) if kept between
10°C and 35°C. In any case, protect from frost and heat above 40°C.
Benefits
BORRON® LB shows good binding power towards iron and calcium ions
and prevents the formation of lime blast, calcium sulphate and iron stains.
BORRON® LB can be used during soaking and liming to remove blood
stains.
BORRON® LB enhances the solubility of lime during deliming with CO2
and hence avoids formation of lime blasts and calcium sulphate stains.
BORRON® LB does not have an eutrophication effect in effluents.
Application
Lime blast / lime stains / calcium sulphate stains:
To prevent lime blast, 0.2 - 0.5 % BORRON® LB (on salted weight) is
added to the last wash water after liming and/or 0.2 - 0.5 %
BORRON® LB (on pelt weight) at the start of deliming.
Iron stains in the vegetable tannage:
To prevent iron stains, 0.5 - 1.5 % BORRON® LB (on pelt weight) is
added to the tanning liquor prior to the hides.
