Product Description
Mimosa FS is a natural tannin extract derived from the bark of the Mimosa tree, rich in polyphenolic compounds. The product is used extensively in leather tanning to enhance flexibility and durability of hides. It also serves as an organic flocculant in water treatment processes and finds applications in textile dyeing, adhesives, and corrosion inhibition. Presented as a light brown powder or granules, Mimosa FS is valued for its eco-friendly, biodegradable properties and strong tanning effect. Zenco Systems Ltd supplies Mimosa FS reliably across East Africa including Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and neighboring countries.
