Applications & Uses

Coating Type
Applications

PROMEX™ OZP is suitable for the preservation of a wide variety of industrial coating products and adhesives and sealants where dry state protection is required.
It shows highest efficacy and stability in a wide pH range of pH 4 - 10. Use levels of PROMEX™ OZP normally range from 0.5 - 2% based on total weight of finished product. Experience shows that compatibility with most products and raw materials is excellent, although compatibility testing and determination of most effective use concentrations is recommended.


Application areas:

  • Interior architectural paints and coatings
  • Adhesives
  • Sealants and caulks
  • Grouting compounds
