Deliming Agents

Purgamin ANF

nitrogen-free deliming agent

Chemical composition

ammonium salt-free blend of inorganic acids and salts

Appearance

coarse - grained, white - yellow powder

pH - value (1:10)

2.5 - 3.0

Stability

stable to acids and salts under usual tannery conditions

Dilution

added undissolved

Field of application

Used in the deliming process to remove the lime and adjust the pH for the bating process.

 

Properties

  • acids dissolve slowly, so no acid swelling must be feared
  • due to nitrogen-free raw materials, no ammonium is brouhgt into the waste water by the deliming
  • gives light pelts and leathers with fine grain
  • even deliming effect and a complete removal of the lime is achieved
  • chrome exhaustion during tanning is supported

       

      Application

      Purgamin ANF is added undissolved. It may be used in normal floats but also in so-called dry deliming. Applied quantities depend on the thickness and the lime content of the pelts and are between 0.5 % and 2.0 %.

      Nitrogen content of the waste water after deliming with ammonium sulphate and ammonium sulphate containing bating agent: 3.000 - 5.000 mg/l. Nitrogen content of the waste water after deliming with Purgamin ANF and bating with Purgazym 50: 100 - 300 mg/l

      Remark

      Purgamin ANF is a technical product and variations in colour can happen. The properties for application are not touched by this.
