Polycel (1kg)
For treatment of pinking or browning
Polycel is formulated to help prevent and/or treat compounds which cause pinking and browning. A mix of polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP) and micropulverized cellulose, Polycel complexes with polyphenols like catechins as well as other compounds associated with pinking and browning. Polycel may also help reduce problems with atypical aging. As it is insoluble in water and alcohol it precipitates out and leaves no residue. It can be used together with bentonite and/or casein.
To Use: Mix Polycel into 20 times its weight in cool water (do not use wine or juice). Mix well and allow to sit for 1 hour. Add the mixture to the tank slowly; making sure the addition is thoroughly blended into the juice or wine being treated. Depending upon the wine, Polycel may take up to a week to settle out. Rack off lees or filter after use.
