Reduce sulfide, increase penetration rate of lime and obtain flatter, more uniform leathers with reduced wrinkles using unhairing systems
Buckman offers a range of products to improve the quality of limed pelts and reduce the levels of sulfide required to achieve complete unhairing. Low sulfide liming systems enhance the sustainability performance of the liming process and include enzyme-based technologies and sulfide-free reducing agents. Leathers with a flatter, cleaner grain and reduced wrinkles can be achieved with the use of liming auxiliaries which assist in improved dissolution of lime and increased chemical penetration.
