INTRODUCTION 

DENIE-BATE GS-G is an alkaline protease enzyme concentrate designed to be diluted prior to being used as a bating agent. It is effective in the degradation of non-collagenous components of hides and pelts.

 

Dilution may be undertaken by the tannery or, more commonly, by third party formulators who may blend it with other active constituents.

 

TEMPERATURE and pH PROFILES 

The performance of enzymatic leather processing products depends upon process conditions such as temperature, pH, and time, nature of the substrate and enzyme concentration.

 

The nature of DENIE- BATE GS-G means that it is effective at typical bating temperature (approx. 35° - 38°C) even though its optimum temperature for activity is approximately 40° - 50°C.

 

DENIE- BATE GS-G is effective over a wide pH range (7.0 - 11.0) with optimum activity about pH 8.5.

 

Due to the type of enzyme and its versatility, DENIE- BATE GS-G can be considered as the enzyme constituent of products used in other leather processing stages such as liming.

 

DIRECTIONS FOR USE 

DENIE-BATE GS-G has a high enzyme activity level and should not be used directly in leather processing stages in its neat form. The product should be diluted or used as a constituent of a soaking preparation prior to use. The dosage level of a dilution or preparation should be equivalent to using DENIE- BATE GS-G at:

 

          Bovine hides; Lamb and Sheep pelts  0.005% – 0.010% on weight of hide.

          Goat pelts                                             0.003% – 0.006% on weight of hide.

          Pigskin pelts                                         0.008% – 0.012% on weight of hide.

 

 

Variations in hide and local conditions can affect the performance of leather processing chemicals. DENYKEM recommend that small scale tests are carried out under local conditions before using products in full scale production. This will avoid any overdosing and any damage that may result from it. This is especially important where poor quality or badly preserved hides are being processed.
