Antimicrobial composition for the protection of leather, furs and leather articles

Abstract

This work presents a composition based on essential oils for the protection of leather, furs and leather articles against fungi. The composition based on essential oils, such as: thyme oil, cinnamon oil, cloves oil, oregano oil, lavender oil in a proportion of 10 to 50% of the total composition. The composition was tested against Trichophyton interdigitale by applying by spraying of 5 -7 passes on the surface of sheepskins lining leather, furs or leather articles / shoes. The composition was effective 28 days for sheepskins lining leather and furs and 15 days for inside shoes, against Trichophyton interdigitale.
