SEACOPOL DG320: 99% Active Extremely Low-Foam Fur & Leather Degreaser
Near 100% Active Concentration with Organic Solvents for Premium Fur Processing by SEATON
Introduction
For the most demanding degreasing applications—especially in fur processing where foam control and maximum degreasing power are critical—ordinary degreasers simply cannot deliver the required performance. SEACOPOL DG320 represents SEATON's highest-concentration extremely low-foam degreasing agent—a premium non-ionic, eco-friendly degreaser engineered with an unprecedented 99% active substance content and enhanced with organic solvents for maximum degreasing power. This extremely low-foam formulation is specifically designed for all types of hides and skins, with specialized performance for fur processing applications.
As the most concentrated degreasing agent in the SEACOPOL DG range, DG320 is a carefully balanced mixture of selected non-ionic surfactants and organic solvents. With 99% active substance content—nearly 100% pure active material, and 237.5% more active material than standard 40% degreasers—and a pH range of 6.0-8.0, this clear, colourless to slightly yellowish liquid delivers exceptional degreasing and wetting performance with virtually no foam generation, making it the ideal solution for fur processing and other foam-sensitive applications.
Exceptional Benefits of SEACOPOL DG320 Near-100% Active Technology
Industry-Leading 99% Active Substance Content
Concentration directly determines both performance and cost efficiency. SEACOPOL DG320 features an unprecedented 99% active substance content—nearly 100% pure active material, with 237.5% more active material than standard 40% degreasers and 23.75% more than 80% concentration products. This near-pure concentration means you use dramatically less product per hide or fur skin, significantly reducing your chemical costs while delivering superior degreasing performance. The ultra-concentrated formulation also drastically reduces storage space requirements, transportation costs, and packaging waste, delivering comprehensive economic and environmental benefits.
Extremely Low-Foam Formulation for Foam-Sensitive Processing
Foam generation is a critical issue in many leather and fur processing applications, causing uneven processing, reduced chemical contact, and operational difficulties. SEACOPOL DG320 features an extremely low foam formulation that virtually eliminates foam generation while maintaining powerful degreasing and wetting performance. This ultra-low-foam technology ensures consistent chemical contact with hide and fur surfaces, prevents flotation issues, and produces more uniform processing results—especially critical in fur processing where fiber structure is delicate and foam can cause significant quality problems.
Enhanced with Organic Solvents for Maximum Degreasing Power
For the toughest degreasing challenges, surfactant-only formulations often fall short. SEACOPOL DG320 is a mixture of selected non-ionic surfactants and organic solvents, combining the best of both worlds for maximum degreasing effectiveness. The organic solvents enhance the solubilization of stubborn fats and greases that surfactants alone cannot fully remove, delivering deeper, more thorough degreasing performance. This solvent-enhanced formulation makes DG320 the degreaser of choice for high-fat content applications and fur processing where complete fat removal is essential.
Specialized for Fur Processing Applications
Fur processing presents unique degreasing challenges that standard leather degreasers cannot adequately address. SEACOPOL DG320 is specially formulated for fur processing, with optimized dosage recommendations for both fur soaking (0.5-1.5 g/l) and fur washing (1.5-3.0 g/l). The extremely low-foam formulation prevents foam damage to delicate fur fibers, while the solvent-enhanced degreasing power thoroughly removes natural fats and oils without harming fur quality. This specialized performance makes DG320 the degreaser of choice for premium fur processing operations.
Excellent Wetting & Dispersion Performance
Effective wetting and dispersion are critical for both soaking and degreasing performance. SEACOPOL DG320 provides excellent wetting and dispersing effect, ensuring uniform water penetration and thorough fat emulsification throughout the entire hide or fur structure. This superior performance creates cleaner pelts and furs with more consistent properties, laying the foundation for uniform tanning, dyeing, and finishing results—even in extremely low-foam formulations where foam generation is minimized.
Accelerated Soaking Process Efficiency
Time efficiency directly impacts production throughput and profitability. SEACOPOL DG320 significantly speeds up the soaking process through superior wetting action that rapidly penetrates hide and fur structures and accelerates complete rehydration. The near-100% active extremely low-foam formulation delivers faster, more effective water penetration and fat dispersion, reducing overall soaking cycle times, increasing production capacity, and lowering energy and water consumption per hide or fur skin processed.
100% APEO-Free Environmentally Responsible
Environmental sustainability is essential for modern leather and fur manufacturing. SEACOPOL DG320 is completely APEO-free, meeting the strictest global environmental standards and regulatory requirements. The near-100% active formulation also dramatically reduces packaging waste and transportation emissions by delivering far more active material per unit volume. This eco-friendly approach allows you to produce high-quality leather and fur while minimizing your environmental footprint.
