Improvements in and relating to Processes, based on the Action of Enzymes, for Bating Hides and to Baths, Mixtures and the like for use therein.

摘要

Bating baths containing enzymes of animal or vegetable origin, intended to emulsify fats and peptonise albuminoids in hides, are provided with antiseptics which prevent any foreign fermentative or bacteriological action taking place. The antiseptics may be inorganic or organic compounds, e.g. arsenious anhydride, salicylic acid, phenol, benzonaphthol, &c. Such a bating liquor is composed of mucous membrane from the stomach of a pig mixed with rock salt and triturated and dried at about 40 DEG C., and then added to a solution of salicylic acid. Specifications 5377/08 and 18770/11, [both in Class 76, Leather], are referred to.
