VANQUISH 100 Antimicrobial can be used to preserve PVC, silicone, polyolefin, polyurethane and acrylic articles such as:
- Shower curtains
- Coated fabric (e.g. ski wear, raincoats, tents etc.)
- Vinyl wall coverings, floor coverings, underlay & mats
- Swimming pool, pond and ditch liners
- Conveyor belts
- Shoe soles and mid-soles
- Roofing membranes
- Auto parts (e.g. vinyl roofs, door seals, shock absorbers,
- steering wheels etc.)
- Foam (e.g. seat cushions, gaskets, insulation etc.)
- Electrical & pipe wrap
- Appliance gaskets such as washers, refrigerator etc.
- Tarpaulins and awnings
- Wall and floor coatings
- Use Guidelines
VANQUISH 100 Antimicrobial may be used for the manufacture of liquid or solid antimicrobial formulations. VANQUISH 100 Antimicrobial may also be used for direct incorporation into plastics or their precursors to preserve plastic articles from microbial degradation.
The activity of the product has been further demonstrated under conditions representative of practical use. However, it is recommended that you carry out tests under practical conditions to determine the most cost-effective dose for your application.
This data, and information on the compatibility of VANQUISH 100 Antimicrobial with a range of formulating chemicals is available on request.
Incorporation of VANQUISH 100 AntimicrobialPVC Plastisols: For addition to PVC plastisols VANQUISH 100 Antimicrobial may be added along with the other additives. Use levels should be calculated based upon the total weight of the formulation.
PVC: VANQUISH 100 Antimicrobial may be added to the mixed liquid components, added to a blend of PVC resin and solids, shear mixed until a dry blend is achieved and then processed through extrusion, calendering, molding or other system.
Cross Linked Polyurethane: For addition to crosslinked polyurethanes, VANQUISH 100 Antimicrobial should be added to the polyol at a concentration that will yield the desired use level in the final product after reaction with the isocyanate component.
Melt Processed Polymers: For addition to melt processed polymers (PVC, thermoplastic polyurethane, synthetic elastomers and thermoplastic acrylics etc.) VANQUISH 100
Antimicrobial may be metered into the melt to yield the desired end use concentration (e.g. at the mixing zone in an extrusion system).Alternatively, VANQUISH 100 Antimicrobial may be made into a masterbatch granule (as above at up to 20% VANQUISH 100 Antimicrobial) and the masterbatch blended with non preserved polymer in the users plant to yield the desired end use concentration upon subsequent melt processing. For thermoplastic polyurethanes, concentrated granules may also be produced by absorbing VANQUISH 100 Antimicrobial liquid into granules through shear mixing (up to 20% VANQUISH 100 Antimicrobial).
These can be blended with non-preserved polymer granules in the users plant to the desired use concentration and then further melt processed (i.e. via extrusion).
Acrylics: In addition to the above, VANQUISH 100 Antimicrobial can be added to the liquid monomers before polymerization, at levels to yield the desired use level in the final product after polymerization.
Natural Rubber: VANQUISH 100 Antimicrobial can be added to the latex.
Polyolefins: VANQUISH 100 Antimicrobial may be made into a masterbatch granule (up to 5-10% VANQUISH 100 Antimicrobial).- Application Information
Application Concentration (% based on total weight of final product) Plasticized PVC 0.03 to 0.5 Polyurethanes 0.05 to 0.5 Polyesters 0.05 to 1.0 Polyolefins 0.05 to 1.0 Acrylics 0.05 to 1.0 Synthetic elastomers such as
butadiene-styrene, styrene-isoprene and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene0.03 to 1.0 Natural latex rubber 0.03 to 0.5 The concentration required to give protection depends on several factors. These include the susceptibility of the system to microbiological degradation, the extent to which micro-organisms can gain access, the species involved, pH, temperature, moisture and length of time for which protection is required.

- Antimicrobial Properties
The efficacy of the product was evaluated by the calculation of Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MICs) [Table 1]. MICs do not represent effective use levels but do indicate the intrinsic broad spectrum of antimicrobials. VANQUISH 100 Antimicrobial has a non-specific mode of biocidal action which means that bacterial resistance is very unlikely to occur.
- Compatibility
- The active ingredient BBIT is incompatible with thiols,bleach and metabisulphites.
