Beam house leather chemicals are specialty chemicals used in the initial stages of leather processing, including soaking, liming, and deliming operations. They include bactericides for preservation, soaking agents, wetting agents, and deliming agents essential for preparing hides and skins for tanning.
We offer a comprehensive range of beam house chemicals including VENPRESERVE (bactericide for hide preservation), VENSOAK C (compact soaking agent), VENWET A (amphoteric emulsifying agent), GIP 7425 (detergent and wetting agent), VENDIGRIS WP (degreasing agent), VENLIME A (liming agent), and VENDELIME Z (ammonium-free deliming agent).
Soaking agents like VENSOAK C help rehydrate dried hides and skins, remove salt and dirt, prepare hides for further processing, and maintain uniform soaking throughout the batch. They have self-pH regulating properties that maintain optimal pH levels (9.0-9.5) for effective soaking and help stabilize belly and flanks during processing.
Bactericides like VENPRESERVE are essential for short-term preservation of fresh hides and skins during soaking operations. They prevent bacterial growth, protect hides from degradation, extend preservation time (up to 7 days), and ensure hides remain in good condition before processing. They are rapidly absorbed by hide surfaces and have low odor and toxicity.
VENDELIME Z is an ammonium-free deliming agent that offers several advantages: it reduces effluent load (no nitrogenous products), provides effective deliming for all hide types, produces compact pelts with uniform colors, minimizes wrinkles and produces fuller leather with tighter bellies, and is suitable for both pre-deliming and main deliming stages.
