CLOSE SACK TIGHTLY AFTER USE AND STORE IN A DRY PLACE. Can be stored for about 1 year (from date of production) if kept in a dry place. Benefits BORRON® NF shows good binding power towards calcium and iron ions BORRON® NF helps to prevent the formation of lime blast, gypsum and iron stains. BORRON® NF has a dispersant action and thus keeps the calcium hydroxide in suspension during the liming process. BORRON® NF can reduce the calcium content in the pelt during CO2 deliming. Application As a dispersing auxiliary during liming: The addition of 0.2 – 0.5% BORRON® NF (on salted weight) during the liming process keeps the calcium hydroxide in suspension and thus makes the latter much more effective, resulting in more even swelling and a smoother pelt. For the prevention of lime blast/lime stains/gypsum stains in the deliming stage: 1. 0.2 – 0.5% BORRON® NF (on salted weight) is added to the last wash-water after liming and/or 0.2 – 0.5% BORRON® NF (on pelt weight) can be added at the start of deliming. 2. To improve the solubility of calcium hydroxide during CO2 deliming, the drum is run with 0.2 – 0.4% BORRON® NF before introducing the CO2. 1 Our application recommendations are in line with our present state of knowledge.
