ASIANCHEM CHEMICALS PTE LTD ? SingaporManufacturer and distributor of a wide range of specialty chemicals, phosphonates, and biocides for the leather industry as well as other industrial applications.
BIOX 1000 (THPS ? Tetrakishydroxyphosphonium Sulphate) is an environmentally friendly product and when discharged it is biodegradable to THPO. It has very good environmental profile and is verified in studies conducted. BIOX 1000 is colorless to slightly yellow and it is a non-metallic pre-tannage agent. It can be mixed easily with water and diluted to requirements.
Current trends use glutaraldehyde as a major pre-tannage agent and there is environmental concern over the handling of this product. With the use of BIOX 1000 it is apparent that in the leather industry white pelts can be produced, and the shrinkage temperature is more than 72 deg C and this is achieved easily. The pre-tannage agent can be used with other surfactants and provide very short processing times.
Typical properties of BIOX 1000 are the follow:
active content is 75% minimum, colour is colorless to slightly yellowish, specific gravity at 25 deg C of between 1.38 ? 1.42, viscosity of 30 ? 36 cps and pH of 3 ? 4.
BIOX 5000 ( Glutaraldehyde) is the alternative to the use of THPS. It has an active content of 50% minimum, colour is colorless to slightly yellowish, and pH of between 3 ? 5. In addition there is also BIOX 5001 ( Glutaraldehyde GTW 45) which is used for the leather industry and has an active content of between 32 ? 34%.
