Acid protease, Granulate
NovoCor® ABG
NovoCor® ABG is an acid protease. It's suited to acid bating of pickled pelts and doubleface.
NovoCor® ABG is designed for further formulation.
Product features, details and benefits
If they weren't removed, the protein components that sit between the leather-making fibres would cement the fibres together. That would make the final leather harder. By removing these components, this product increases softness and fluffiness.
Better dyeing properties
Wrinkles, marks and other variations can cause inconsistencies in dyeing. That will impact finished products. This product relaxes elastin and fibers to reduce these variations.
Fully biodegradable
This product is both biodegradable and renewable. That means it has minimal environmental impact.
Good synergy with acid lipase
Our acid lipase Novocor ADL® is ideal for degreasing of small skins. Combining this product with Novocor ADL® leads to synergies that boost its benefits in acid bating.
Reduction of wrinkles
This product softens and relaxes elastin and fibers. That smoothes out and reduces wrinkles.
How do enzymes work in acid bating of wet blue, pickled sheepskins and double face
The non-homogeneity of wet-blue, pickled sheepskins and double face causes problems for tanneries. A secondary, acid bating step improves consistency and uniformity.
The non-homogeneity of wet blue, pickled sheep skins and double face make them challenging for tanneries. A secondary, acid bating step improves the uniformity of hides and skins sourced from various origins.
Acid bating or re-bating is this secondary step. It further improves tanning and finishing processes for these raw materials. Acid bating removes wrinkles and improves evenness, softness, and uniformity in the dyeing process.
By reducing performance differences in hides and skins sourced from various origins, acid bating enzymes allow tanneries to standardize subsequent processing. That makes their production easier to manage.
