Remove bacteria from the hide with Busan 1078 to enhance leather quality.
Pre-soaking and soaking can be heavily contaminated with bacteria as ideal conditions for microbiological growth are present. And that can lead to downgrading of your leather. To control
the bacteria in soaking, Buckman has developed an advanced bactericide to take control of bacteria.
Strong and effective, our Busan 1078 program* protects hides from the damage bacteria can do and, just as important, ensures more consistent quality from one batch load to the next. So, you
can bring better leathers to market and greater profitability to your leather operation.
Busan 1078 bactericide makes all the difference.
If you see damage in your hides, the cause may be what you can’t see—bacteria in the soaking stage. Common problems include:
- Enlargement of the hair follicle
Accentuation of vein marks
Loose grain break
Impaired dyeability
Reduction in physical properties
Nubuck effect on grain leather
Pin prick effect
Fortunately, reducing these problems is easier to resolve with the application of Busan 1078 bactericide in the pre-soak and main soak operations.
Double trouble for bacteria.
Our specially formulated isothiazolinone blend provide dual action: working as a quick kill for immediate bacteria control and as an effective, long-lasting bactericide for continued control during soaking. There’s no better way to ensure consistent hide quality.
Easy application and handling.
The amount of Busan 1078 required will vary according to the processing conditions and hides. Most of the time one or multiple dosages ranging from 0.1% to 0.4% on the weight of hides may be used. The other advantages of Busan 1078 are:
- Diluted liquid formulation for easy and safe handling
Availability in drums, semi-bulk and bulk containers
Long storage life—up to a year under normal conditions
Little or no effect on your biological effluent treatment plant
