Features & Benefits

Fluids & Lubricants Features
Key Features
  • Used as a preservative of aqueous and water miscible chemicals and technical products.
  • Innovative formulation does not contribute to VOC levels.
  • Broad antimicrobial efficacy against bacteria, yeasts and fungi.
  • Often effective where other preservatives fail, especially at critical temperature and pH-values.
  • Free from formaldehyde, formaldehyde releasers, phenolics, heavy metals, halogens.
  • Excellent thermal stability ( - 5˚C - 120°C)
  • Excellent chemical stability pH 2 - 12.
  • Excellent long term efficacy
  • Low viscosity
  • Good compatibility with other commonly used raw materials.
Product Highlights

PROMEX™ Na20TS meets the highest purity requirements. Technically generated impurities are often the cause of undesired side effects in terms of toxicological or technical properties. These impurities are reduced to a minimum in PROMEX™ Na20TS.
PROMEX™ Na20TS penetrates the cells of micro-organisms, reacts with vital parts of the cells and inactivates important substrates and enzymes necessary to normal cell function. These relatively unspecific reactions exhibit a bactericidal effect and minimize adaptation or the development of microbial resistance.

Microbial Deterioration

PROMEX™ Na20TS prevents microbial deterioration of products and resulting consequences such as:

  • Phase separation
  • Odor build-up
  • Gas build-up
  • Changes in viscosity
  • Build-up of health threatening toxins

Applications

PROMEX™ Na20TS is highly suitable for the preservation of the majority of aqueous formulations due to its good thermal and chemical stability. It shows highest efficacy in a wide pH range of pH 4 - 12 and is chemically stable from pH 2 - 12.
Experience shows that compatibility with most products and raw materials is excellent, although compatibilitytesting is recommended for special formulations.
