Improves grain quality, softness and fluffiness
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.
Reduction of wrinkles
This product softens and relaxes elastin and fibers. That smoothes out and reduces wrinkles.
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.
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.
Fully biodegradable
This product is both biodegradable and renewable. That means it has minimal environmental impact.
Availability: Only available outside Europe
Target application/raw: Pickled pelts and doubleface
This product contains enzymes. While enzymes are safe to use in consumer applications, they need correct handling in working environments to ensure workers’ safety.
Indeed, repeated inhalation of enzyme dust or aerosols resulting from improper handling may induce sensitization and may cause allergic type 1 reactions in sensitized individuals.
Please follow the precautionary handling recommendations below:
- Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray
- Avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing
- In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection
- IF INHALED: Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing
- If experiencing respiratory symptoms: Call a POISON CENTER or a doctor
- Store in a dry place. Store in a closed container
- Dispose of contents/containers in accordance with local regulations

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.
