OMACIDE™ IPBC 20 TX Fungicide has a non-specific mode of action which means that resistance is very unlikely to occur. Detailed information on the mode of action is available on request.- Compatibility
IPBC hydrolyses in strong alkali media & decomposes at 180°C. The active has been associated with irreversible yellowing of dry film in some formulations, particularly those containing styrenated polymers.
