Product Description

Technical Grade Lipase (Powder) For Leather & Silk

Halal & Kosher Certified 

DESCRIPTION

• Lipase LP-10 is a powder form preparation produced from Aspergillus niger through submerged fermentation, extraction and refining process.
• Its high activity and conversion rate enables LP-10 not only hydrolyze fat to produce mono- or diglycerides and free fatty acids, but also catalyze ester synthesis and transesterification reactions.

BENEFIT AND APPLICATION

• Lipase is one of the main components of enzymes for leather industry and an important material in the production of upscale leather.
• It can be used in every preparation process of tanning and is suitable for all kinds of processing equipment including drums, troughs, pond, etc.
• It is also widely used in processes like soaking, liming, ash-removing / softening and degreasing of a variety of rawhides.
• For leather processing, Lipase LP-10 is typically used in combination with protease at temperatures from 25 to 55°C, pH from 6 to 11.
