Acetic Acid Technical Grade
Acetic acid technical grade is a clear, corrosive liquid with a strong, sharp odor. It is primarily used in industrial and chemical applications rather than food or pharmaceutical products. With the chemical formula CH₃COOH, technical-grade acetic acid typically has a purity of around 99%, but it may contain small amounts of impurities that make it unsuitable for consumption or high-purity applications.
Acid Black 210
Acid Black 210 is a water-soluble acid dye known for its deep black shade and strong colorfastness. It appears as a fine black powder and is commonly used in the textile and leather industries for dyeing wool, silk, nylon, and chrome-tanned leather. It offers good light, wash, and rubbing fastness, making it suitable for high-performance applications.
Ammonium Cupric Chloride
Ammonium Cupric Chloride is a blue-green crystalline inorganic compound composed of copper, ammonium, and chloride ions. It is widely used as a source of copper in agricultural fungicides and bactericides, as well as in electroplating, chemical synthesis, and textile dyeing. Its antimicrobial properties make it valuable for controlling fungal and bacterial infections in plants. Additionally, it serves as a precursor in various industrial and laboratory applications.
Basic Chrome
Basic Chrome Sulfate, commonly referred to as Basic Chrome, is a chromium-based chemical compound primarily used in the leather tanning industry. It appears as a greenish crystalline powder and contains chromium(III) sulfate complexed with basic chromium salts. Basic Chrome is favored for its ability to produce soft, flexible, and durable leather by crosslinking collagen fibers. It is the most widely used tanning agent worldwide due to its effectiveness and cost-efficiency. Besides tanning, Basic Chrome finds applications in other industries like pigments and catalysts.
Bating agent
Bating Agent is a biochemical preparation used primarily in the leather processing industry during the bating stage, which follows liming and deliming. It consists mainly of proteolytic enzymes (such as pancreatin, trypsin, or subtilisin) that break down non-collagenous proteins, hair residues, and unwanted tissue from hides and skins. This enzymatic treatment softens the leather, improves its texture and pliability, and prepares it for tanning. The bating process enhances the quality, uniformity, and appearance of the final leather product
