| abstract |
The invention relates to degreasing agents for the treatment of hides, skins, pelts and other intermediates in leather and fur production, as well as wool or related proteins based on nonionic surfactants of the alcohol alkoxylate type, in which alcohol alkoxylates are used which are converted by the reaction of at least one alcohol ROH with n moles of at least one alkylene oxide per mole of alcohol ROH, in which DOLLAR A - R is an alkyl radical with 5 to 30 carbon atoms, which has a main chain with 4 to 29 carbon atoms, which in the chain center with at least one C¶1¶- bis C¶10¶ alkyl is branched; DOLLAR A - the alkylene oxide has 2 to 6 carbon atoms, DOLLAR A and DOLLAR A - n is an integer between 1 and 100. DOLLAR A Furthermore, the invention relates to a process for degreasing hides, skins, skins and other intermediates in leather and fur production, as well as wool or related proteins, in which a degreasing agent according to the present invention is used and the use of the degreasing agents. |
