Leather Plant
Leather preservatives are essential additives used in leather plants to enhance the durability and quality of leather products. They come in various formulations to address specific needs and challenges encountered in leather processing. Here are some common types:
Quat based
Quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) are effective preservatives known for their antimicrobial properties. They help prevent microbial growth on leather, protecting it from deterioration and extending its lifespan.
Carbamate based
Carbamate-based preservatives, also known as urea-based compounds, act as biocides, inhibiting the growth of fungi and bacteria on leather surfaces. They contribute to preserving the integrity of leather goods.
2-MBT based
2-Mercaptobenzothiazole (2-MBT) is a common preservative used in leather processing due to its excellent fungicidal and bactericidal properties. It helps prevent mold and mildew growth, ensuring the longevity of leather products.
Isothiazolinone based
Isothiazolinones are broad-spectrum preservatives effective against a wide range of microorganisms. They are commonly used in leather preservation to protect against microbial degradation and maintain the quality of leather goods.
Each type of leather preservative offers unique benefits and applications, contributing to the quality and longevity of leather products manufactured in leather plants.
