OMACIDE™ IPBC 40 Industrial Fungicide

1 of 8 products in this brand
OMACIDE™ IPBC 40 Industrial Fungicide is a pungent aromatic, pale yellow to amber-colored liquid broad spectrum fungicide additive. It is used in architectural coatings, textiles, construction applications such as paints, stains, adhesives, caulks, and sealants, as well as plastic product applications to prevent dry film fungal growth. OMACIDE™ IPBC 40 Industrial Fungicide is also a very effective additive for controlling fungal growth in aqueous-based fluids such as inks and metalworking fluids.

    Applications

    PAINTS AND STAINS
    Generally, 0.3-0.5% of active material by weight of total formulation will protect against mildew growth. Where climates are ideal for mildew growth, up to 1.0% of active component
    should be used. Interior paints usually would require levels of 0.1-0.3% of active material on total formulation weight. In stains where protection against mold and staining fungi is required, 0.3-0.4% of active material is recommended. When formulating with IPBC powder, the material should be solubilized in a suitable polar solvent before it is added to the formulation. Note: IPBC based products have been associated with irreversible yellowing of the dry film in some formulations, especially those products containing resins based on styrenated polymers. The propensity for yellowing of any new paint formulation (especially white paints) should be thoroughly evaluated when using IPBC-based products.

    METALWORKING FLUIDS
    OMACIDE™ IPBC 100 Industrial Fungicide is effective in inhibiting the growth of fungi in aqueous metalworking, cutting, cooling and lubricating fluids. Up to 1000 ppm of active ingredient can be used in the diluted fluid. The amount required in the concentrate will depend on the end use dilution. For example, if the desired concentration of the active component in the diluted fluid is 100 ppm, and the end use dilution of the concentrate is 5%, then 0.2% concentration of OMACIDE IPBC Industrial Fungicide should be added to the concentrate (100 ppm/0.05 = 2,000 ppm or 0.2%). OMACIDE IPBC Industrial Fungicide can be added directly to soluble oil, and semi-synthetic metalworking fluid concentrates. It can be premixed into petroleum oil, or added at the end of the formulation. While not necessary, slight heating (110-130F) will speed the dissolution. OMACIDE IPBC Industrial Fungicide is compatible with most soluble oil and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids, however preliminary physical and chemical compatibility testing is recommended prior to commercialization.

    ADHESIVES
    OMACIDE IPBC Fungicide prevent growth of fungus in both the wet product and dry film. Use levels for adhesives and caulks are 0.02-0.25% active material on total formulation weight. When using the fungicide powder, the product should be added to a polar organic solvent before adding to vehicle components.

    TEXTILES
    Canvas, carpet, shower curtains, and boat covers can be protected against mildew by adding levels of 0.02-1.0 % (on an active component basis). These products are suitable for use in both solvent borne and aqueous emulsions products used in coatings and dyes typical in textile materials processing.
