Leather Processing Enzymes
Advanced enzyme solutions designed to optimize hide preparation, dehairing, bating, and leather processing.
Overview
Leather Processing Enzymes
Leather processing enzymes are specialized biocatalysts used to optimize key stages of leather manufacturing, including soaking, dehairing, bating, degreasing, and hide preparation. They provide targeted enzymatic action to help modify proteins, fats, and other non-collagenous components of hides and skins.
Our enzyme solutions are designed to support efficient processing, improved hide cleanliness, better fibre opening, and consistent leather quality. They can be selected according to the hide or skin type, processing stage, tanning method, and desired finished-leather characteristics.
Overview

Overview
Enzyme Solutions
Our leather enzyme portfolio provides targeted solutions for soaking, dehairing, bating, degreasing, and other hide-processing stages.
Overview
Enzymes for Soaking
Soaking enzymes are used to support the rehydration and cleaning of hides and skins during the initial stage of leather processing. They help loosen and remove soluble proteins, dirt, impurities, and other unwanted materials.
By improving hide cleanliness and preparation, soaking enzymes support more uniform processing in subsequent stages. They can also contribute to better penetration of processing chemicals and improved overall process efficiency.
Key Benefits :
- Improved Hide Rehydration
- Enhanced Chemical Penetration
- Removal of Impurities
- Improved Process Efficiency
- Better Hide Cleanliness
- Consistent Hide Preparation
Overview
Enzymes for De-Liming
De-liming enzymes support the controlled removal of residual lime and non-collagenous proteins from hides after the liming process. They help prepare the hide structure for subsequent bating and tanning operations.
Enzymatic de-liming can provide targeted action while supporting improved hide cleanliness and processing uniformity. These enzymes can be selected according to hide type, processing conditions, and desired leather characteristics.
Key Benefits :
- Effective Lime Removal
- Better Fibre Condition
- Non-Collagenous Protein Removal
- Enhanced Process Control
- Improved Hide Preparation
- Consistent Processing
Overview
Enzymes for Bating
Bating enzymes are used to remove unwanted non-collagenous proteins and other residual materials from hides after liming and de-liming. They help improve the cleanliness, softness, and openness of the hide structure.
These enzymes support effective fibre preparation before tanning and can contribute to desirable grain quality and uniformity. Their activity can be adjusted according to the hide type and required finished-leather characteristics.
Key Benefits :
- Effective Protein Removal
- Better Grain Quality
- Improved Fibre Opening
- Improved Tanning Preparation
- Enhanced Hide Softness
- Consistent Hide Processing
Overview
Enzymes for De-greasing
De-greasing enzymes are used to help break down and remove natural fats, oils, and grease present in hides and skins. They support cleaner hide surfaces and more uniform preparation for subsequent tanning processes.
By reducing unwanted fatty components, enzymatic de-greasing can improve processing consistency and support better penetration of chemicals. These solutions can be used according to the characteristics of the raw hide and processing requirements.
Key Benefits :
- Effective Fat Breakdown
- Enhanced Processing Uniformity
- Improved Hide Cleanliness
- Improved Tanning Preparation
- Better Chemical Penetration
- Process Efficiency
Overview
Enzymes for Dehairing
Dehairing enzymes support the controlled removal of hair, epidermal components, and selected non-collagenous proteins from hides and skins. They provide targeted enzymatic action that can complement conventional dehairing processes.
Enzymatic dehairing solutions help support cleaner hide surfaces and improved fibre preparation for subsequent processing. Their application can be selected according to hide characteristics, processing conditions, and desired leather quality.
Key Benefits :
- Effective Hair Removal
- Improved Hide Cleanliness
- Epidermis Removal
- Enhanced Fibre Preparation
- Reduced Protein Residues
- Consistent Dehairing Performance
