Leather Processing Enzymes
Protease & Lipase Blend (EC 3.4.x, EC 3.1.1.3) — Enzymatic Protein & Fat Processing
Protease and lipase systems for tanneries, leather chemical distributors and resellers: bating, degreasing, soaking support and chrome-free pre-treatment. Protease removes non-structural proteins for a cleaner, softer grain; lipase reduces natural fats so dyes and finishes take evenly. Working ranges: pH 7.0–9.0 (bating) and 6.0–8.0 (degreasing) at 35°C–45°C. Light brown powder or granule, Protease 200,000+ U/g and Lipase 50,000+ U/g. Wholesale and bulk supply in 25 kg fiber drums, MOQ 25 kg, priced per order. To request a quote, send the product, quantity and destination.

Leather Processing Enzymes Powder/Granule
Protease 200,000+ U/g; Lipase 50,000+ U/g
Applications
Leather Processing Enzymes combine protease and lipase activities for protein removal, fat reduction and more consistent processing. Tanneries use them for softer leather, more even dyeing and cleaner effluent; distributors and resellers supply them to beamhouse and wet-end customers.
Bating (Post-Liming)
Enzymatic bating of hides after liming—removes non-structural proteins for soft, supple leather with uniform grain.
Learn more →Degreasing (Sheepskin & Pigskin)
Lipase-based degreasing—targets natural fats for even dye uptake and consistent finishing results.
Soaking & Rehydration Support
Protease assists rehydration of salted/dried hides—faster soaking, reduced water consumption, and a cleaner process.
Chrome-Free Tanning Pre-Treatment
Enzymatic pre-treatment supports chrome-free tanning methods—helping sustainable, eco-certified leather production.
Softening & Flexibility
Post-tanning enzymatic treatment for buttery-soft leather in luxury goods, garments, and upholstery.
Effluent Reduction
Enzymatic processing reduces BOD/COD in tannery wastewater by 30–50% vs. chemical methods for cleaner production.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which steps in leather processing can these enzymes support?
They are designed for bating (after liming), lipase-based degreasing of sheepskins and pigskins, soaking & rehydration support, chrome-free tanning pre-treatment, post-tanning softening, and effluent reduction through enzymatic processing.
What pH and temperature ranges should we use?
For bating, use pH 7.0–9.0; for degreasing, use pH 6.0–8.0. Operate at 35°C–45°C for best activity and process consistency.
How do I choose between protease-driven bating and lipase-driven degreasing?
Use protease activity to target non-structural proteins for soft, uniform grain (bating). Use lipase activity to reduce natural fats for even dye uptake and finishing (degreasing). Your formulation and process goals determine the emphasis—our team can help you align dosing to your trial results.
What is the shelf life and storage requirement?
Shelf life is 12 months when sealed and stored in a cool, dry place. Keep the product protected from moisture exposure to preserve activity.
Do you support chrome-free and sustainability requirements?
Yes. The enzymatic pre-treatment supports chrome-free tanning methods and is supplied with ISO 9001, Leather Grade, and ZDHC Compliant documentation to align with sustainability-focused production.
