Mimosa GS Powder

mimosa-gs-powder

A light coloured spray-dried dedusted Mimosa extract similar in other characteristics to normal Mimosa powder

It is suitable for any vegetable tanned leather where a particularly pale colour is required. It is eminetly suitable for retanning chrome leathers which are to be finished in lighter shades. As a light coloured bleached extract ,Mimosa GS is susceptible to oxidation over time hence it is advisable to avoid prolonged storage. This oxidation process can be accelerated on exposure to high temperatures and sun light so it is advisable to store in a well-ventilated and covered area
