Get exclusive insights on how your business can employ biocides effectively and ensure the safety of products, customers and the environment. 

Biocides are an important part of the leather production process, ensuring quality and preventing damage by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and fungi within the product. While manufacturers are understandably keen to capitalise on the benefits biocides offer, there are many environmental and safety concerns with which they must contend, and strict EU regulations to which they must adhere.

  • Why use biocides?
