BIOBAN™ QK-20 For Industrial Clean Up And Disinfection
BIOBAN™ QK-20 is typically used in the clean-up and disinfection of process equipment, tools, and production tanks. The product is also used for the disinfection and decontamination of water-based materials, whether in raw or finished form.
BIOBAN™ QK-20 is a quick effect disinfectant from LANXESS, that is ideal for reducing microbiological contamination of raw materials or finished products such as aqueous paints and coatings, polymers, inks, slurries, adhesives, latex and resin emulsions, sizing agents, caulk and sealants. It is also used in specialty industrial products to boost the in-can protetcion of cleaning products, polishes, waxes, and detergents.
BIOBAN™ QK-20 Benefits
Instantaneous Antimicrobial Activity
Broad-spectrum activity against bacteria, fungi, and yeast, 99.99% kill before rapid chemical degradation. Fast clean-up and disinfection for process equipment, tanks, filters, and felts. It also helps remove biofilm buildup in piping systems.
Low Dosage Requirements
Quickly dispersed upon introduction into your system with dosage rates between 0.05%-0.2000%, with thermal stability up to 63°C. It can be used effectively in combination with long-term preservatives to reduce the bio-burden on the long-term preservative.
Excellent Environmental Profile
Non-persistent, no bioaccumulation with rapid degradation to naturally occurring products (CO2, Ammonia, and Bromide ion). It also neither contains nor releases formaldehyde.
Safe and Cost-Effective
Excellent compatibility and low toxicity at recommended use levels provide industrial-strength solutions for your sanitation needs.
Why BIOBAN™ QK-20 For Process Decontamination Applications?
BIOBAN™ QK-20 is based on 20% DBNPA (2,2-dibromo-3-nitrilopropionamide), which features its quick and broad efficacy and short half-life. The short half-life is essential in clean-up and decontamination applications to ensure complete degradation of the active ingredient after disinfection, without raising disposal concerns.
BIOBAN™ QK-20 is also a non-oxidizing biocide that eliminates any corrosion potential or unwanted reactions with process chemicals, such as the polymer degradation typically observed when contacting chlorine (bleach) or other oxidizing biocides.
