Résumé : |
Every year, fungal growth on wet blue causes significant, costly damage measured as rework and downgrading of the resulting leather. Even the best mold control programs are prone to failure now and again. The reasons are varied and range from the programmed decomposition of fungicides in the wet blue to environmental exposure to the occurrence of mold species that could not be anticipated during fungicide selection. Tanners are always on the lookout for a novel antifungal substance that can be applied after palletizing, immediately prior to packaging of the wet blue. Such a post-process spray would provide just ehough added protection to minimize damage during extended shipment and storage intervals. Several synthetic fungicides have shown to be effective in this role, but their toxicity profiles preclude their being applied to the palletized wet blue by spray application. A group of low risk, environmentally benign substances has shown significant antifungal properties when applied to wet blue. The extracts of select naturally occurring plants have been tested for efficacy against commonly encountered molds. These compounds can be applied to the substrate with other commonly available organics by spray application, while presenting minimal risk to the user or the environment. This new family of leather fungicides can be used as part of an integrated system of wet blue fungal protection. As such, they will complement the existing wet blue fungicide programs to help extend storage intervals. |
