An extract of mimosa or wattle bark, usually shipped in bags. Used in the tanning industry. Absorbs moisture when the air is humid. Absorption of moisture does not in itself cause damage, but as the extract is soluble in water, excessive wetting may affect the colour and possibly the quality of leather produced. Excessive moisture, excessive heat, lack of suitable ventilation, or excessive superincumbent weight may cause the extract to become soft and exude from the bags and stick to other bags, adjacent cargo or ship’s structure. Faults in manufacture could be responsible for softening. May be subject to loss in weight due to drying out.
