Leather Industry Enzymes
Leather Enzymes for Tanning & Processing
Enzymatic solutions Optimizing Bating, Unhairing & Processing
Key Benefits
Leather processing requires enzymes that efficiently remove hair, modify proteins, and prepare hides for tanning while reducing chemical usage. Protease, lipase, and multi-enzyme blends improve bating, dehairing, degreasing, and soaking steps, enhancing hide quality and uniformity. These enzymatic solutions improve fiber opening, promote cleaner grain patterns and help tanneries reduce sulfide and chemical load during early-stage leather processing.
Catalex Bio provides leather enzyme solutions designed for modern tanneries, ensuring consistent leather properties, improved process hygiene and higher operational efficiency across multiple hide types.
- Improved hide softness and uniformity
- Reduced chemical usage and environmental impact
- Enhanced tanning efficiency and processing speed
- Better penetration of tanning agents due to superior fiber opening
- Consistent leather quality across batches
Application of ENYZMES in Leather Industry
- Bating: Protease softens hides and improves fiber structure. Enhances pliability, grain tightness and uniform leather feel.
- Dehairing: Multi-enzyme formulations enhance efficiency and reduce chemical load. Reduces reliance on high sulfide levels and supports cleaner wastewater output.
- Degreasing: Lipase assists in fat removal and promotes uniform tanning. Improves dye penetration, reduces surface oiling and enhances finishing quality.
- Soaking: Specialized enzyme blends rehydrate and clean hides before further processing. Removes dirt, blood and unwanted proteins to prepare hides for efficient liming.
