Applications & Uses
- Applications
The product is effective in polymer emulsions, paints, adhesives, pigment dispersions and household products
- Amount to Use
The concentration required to adequately preserve your product depends on several factors. These include the susceptibility of the system to microbiological degradation, the extent to which microorganisms can gain access, the species involved, pH, temperature, and length of time for which protection is required.
Results of initial studies indicate that a concentration of PROXEL BC Antimicrobial in the range 0.05-0.2% should be sufficient for most applications. Since the effective concentration can be dependent on several factors we recommend that compatibility/stability trials and microbiological challenge testing should be carried out before use.
Properties
- Physical Form
- Typical Physical Properties
- Preservative Properties
This product is effective against a range of problem microorganisms some of which are listed in Table 1. Please note that Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC) do not represent effective in-use concentrations which should be discussed with your local Arch representative.
PROXEL BC Antimicrobial has a non-specific mode of action which means that bacterial resistance is very unlikely to occur. Detailed information on the mode of action is available on request.- Compatibility
- Incompatible with alkalis and some oxidizing and reducing agents, e.g. persalts, sulphites.
