Product Overview:
Leather softening enzyme is a compound of alkaline protease, acidic protease, lipase, amylase, cellulase and other enzyme preparations, which can effectively improve the softness, fullness and elasticity of leather and increase the leather yield.
How It Works:
Softening is an important process in the leather making process. The quality of leather softening will directly affect the elasticity, fullness, feel and other aspects of the finished leather.
In the softening process, the hair roots, grease, skin dirt and other degradation products inside and outside the leather, as well as the residues such as non-fibrin and some collagen degradation products, should be removed, which is conducive to the penetration and combination of subsequent tanning agents and other substances, ensuring the softness and fullness of the finished leather. Moreover, in the softening process, it is necessary to further remove the mucin and fiber matrix between the fibers, and fully disperse the leather collagen fibers to ensure the extensibility, grain flatness and softness of the finished leather.
Leather softening enzyme can effectively remove skin dirt, mucin, mucin and other fiber matrix, and then gently and effectively open the leather fiber structure, which is convenient for subsequent process processing.
Application Instructions:
The diversity and different sources of leather, as well as the local production and operation environment, will affect the use of leather softening enzymes. It is recommended to conduct small-scale tests under the same production and operation environment before large-scale production. This will avoid damage and impact on animal hides due to excessive use or different processes. Especially for leather of slightly lower quality, the processing process and time must be mastered.
Safety Information:
As enzymes are protein-based substances, they may cause allergic reactions if inhaled by sensitive individuals. Prolonged exposure may irritate the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. It is recommended to wear protective masks when handling the product. In case of contact with skin or eyes, rinse immediately with water. After opening, reseal the bag or container tightly to prevent the deactivation of active enzyme components.
