Leather and furs

The final surface finish of leather goods is now commonly applied in the form of lacquerlike polymer coatings that can be apphed as emulsions and suspensions, using suitable surfactants, of course. Similar apphcations are found in the fur industry.

The broad spectrum of the raw goods occurring in the leather and fur industry [95] necessitates various wet treatment processes in which surfactants and emulsifiers play a big role, e.g., in the regeneration of raw goods, which are preserved with salt, or by drying short-chain sulfosuccinates. To achieve hydro-phobizing effects, sulfosuccinate as emulsifiers are fixed on the surface by salts of aluminum or chromium. 

Used industrially as an insecticide and fungicide, for leather and fur production, and as a topical antiseptic and disinfectant. 

The variety of applications emphasizes the versatility of naphtha. For example, naphtha is used in paint, printing ink, and polish manufacturing and in the rubber and adhesive industries, as well as in the preparation of edible oils, perfumes, glues, and fats. Further uses are found in the dry-cleaning, leather, and fur industries and in the pesticide field. The characteristics that determine the suitability of naphtha for a particular use are volatility, solvent properties (dissolving power), purity, and odor (generally the lack thereof).

While pentachlorophenol is no longer manufactured in Canada, it is still imported and used as a preservative for utility poles, paints, adhesives, textiles, leather, and furs. Other uses such as pest eontrol and preserving fence posts and crossties were stopped in 1990. The environmental impact of pentachlorophenol and its uses are being reviewed by regulatory agencies.
