Solutions designed for long term preservation across leather processing stages
Specialty chemicals company LANXESS is showcasing its exclusive fungicides portfolio at the India International Leather Fair (IILF) 2026, from February 1 to 3, at the Chennai Trade Centre.
LANXESS will introduce its latest product of the Preventol range. The new preservative Preventol CT 40 for leather intermediates is powered by a unique combination of electrophilic and membrane active profile. Its broad-spectrum efficacy and strong contribution to storage stability makes Preventol CT 40 an ideal choice for safeguarding leather intermediates and ensuring high-quality leather products consistently.
With Preventol LANXESS offers effective and economical long-term preservation of leather intermediates. It provides protection against mold & fungi in leather manufacturing process. While fighting mold, the membrane active biocides are not degraded but released unchanged, so they can repeat their defense work over and over again – a truly regenerative biocide ensuring long-term protection.
Unlike other systems, most Preventol products contain more than one active substance and function ensuring that both modes of action are combined in one product. This leads to a broader spectrum of efficacy and additional safety for tanneries.
Speaking about the event, Anand Muthureddy, Head – Business Unit Material Protection Products, LANXESS India, said, “The Indian leather industry operates in an increasingly competitive environment, and LANXESS remains focused on delivering reliable and effective solutions to the market. Through our fungicides portfolio, we aim to support the leather industry with reliable, high-performance solutions that align with global quality standards.”
