Comprehensive guide to antibacterial additives for protecting industrial products against microbial growth.
Many water-based industrial products provide a suitable environment for the growth of bacteria, fungi, and algae. Ceramic slurries, glazes, architectural paints, adhesives, and polymer solutions are all susceptible to microbial contamination. Microbial growth causes viscosity changes, unpleasant odor, discoloration, reduced performance, and ultimately product spoilage. Kimicide is a range of antimicrobial additives that prevent microorganism growth through various mechanisms. These products are effective at low dosages and have no effect on the physical and chemical properties of the final product.
Kimicide is offered in two main categories: in-can preservatives that protect the product during storage and warehousing, and dry-film preservatives that protect the product after application and drying. Target industries include the ceramic industry (slurry and glaze protection), paint and coating industry (emulsion paint protection), adhesive industry (water-based adhesive protection), paper industry (sizing and coating protection), and textile industry (yarn sizing protection). Selection of the appropriate type is based on product type, pH, storage temperature, and desired shelf life.
Is Kimicide suitable for food products?
No. Kimicide is designed for industrial products and is not suitable for food use. For food preservation, use approved food-grade preservatives.
