Impact of Disinfection on Modern Leather

Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of disinfection procedures, specifically butan-1-ol vapors and spraying with ethanol and isopropanol, on selected types of leather, namely alum-tanned leather, vegetable-tanned leather, and aniline-dyed vegetable-tanned leather. During the testing of the prepared samples, changes in tensile properties, shrinkage temperature, color, and pH values were monitored before and after treatment with disinfectants at various time intervals. The results of this research will contribute to a better understanding of the effects of disinfection methods on collagen-based materials and may provide a basis for developing optimal conservation procedures.
