Eco-friendly degreasing

The results obtained from the characterisation of the phase behaviour and in the beam house imply that Eusapon OD is a suitable alternative allowing for an eco-friendly degreasing of animal skins. However, the understanding of the so far unidentified degreasing mechanism is the key goal for a continuous development of the degreasing process itself. In order to clarify the role of microemulsions in degreasing additional phase behaviour and interfacial tension measurements were conducted.
