TRUMPLER GmbH & Co KG have recently introduced a new enzymatic soaking agent under the name Trupowet NS. The product is based on novel enzyme chemistry and exhibits optimal effectivity at neutral pH levels.
Trupowet NS facilitates improvements to be made over and above traditional alkaline soaking methods in respect of rehydration and opening up of the hide structure. In addition, scud removal is improved whilst maintaining excellent flat grain characteristics.
When green fleshing is undertaken, the use of Trupowet NS will enhance flesh removal and improve subsequent process steps. Trupowet NS can be utilised on all types of raw hides. The quantity to be applied will normally vary between 0.1-0.3%, based on raw weight, dependant upon the type of raw material and process time.
