How does the Sunson enzyme applied in degreasing of leather treatment?
Traditionally, the degreasing of sheepskins is done by solvent-extraction using paraffin solvent systems. A new process based on the enzymatic breakdown of fats by a lipase enzyme has been introduced to the leather industry. The enzymatic degreasing process replaces the solvent-based process. Since the enzyme interferes less with the skin structure, the enzymatic process also results in a product with improved quality, for example improved tear strength and more uniform color. Benefits: Environmentally replaces solvent-based system, lowers volatile organic chemical load; For consumer, higher quality leather C the improved tear strength should be very meaningful to anyone with leather furniture!
