When a skin that just has been extracted from the animal, the immune mechanism of protection against micro-organisms, typical of this living being (bacteria, fungi, yeasts, protozoa, viruses, etc.) is interrupted.
At the end of life, these microorganisms find nothing that prevents their rapid development and reproduction.
If we do not prevent this microbial activity, the raw skin will suffer a de-figurative action, due to bacterial degradation, which affects its aesthetic and physical quality.
During their actions, proteolytic bacteria have their own mechanism for releasing enzymes, such as proteases that degrade the proteins present in the structure of the leather.
That is why we must protect fresh, salted and / or dry skin from bacteria during storage, transport and also during soaking prior to the unhairing process.
Pellital SA. offers its customers a series of bactericidal products, suitable for the effective protection of the skins and prevent bacterial development in them.
