DuPont Microbial Control for Dry-film Preservation
For Long Lasting Dryfilm Preservation
Selecting the right dryfilm preservative for your application can be challenging. The biocide needs to be compatible with your formulation, low leaching, and inhibit the mold growth on your product depending on the application. DuPont offers a broad and versatile microbial control products that can provide the protection you need and meet the regulatory requirements of the modern market.

Select Your Dryfilm Preservative from DuPont
To formulate a product that will stand the test of time, it is essential to protect the dryfilm from fungal and algae contaminations. The optimal dryfilm preservative package will vary by product and by application. Explore DuPont Microbial Control products for dryfilm preservation:
* Efficacy: B: Bacteria, F: Fungi, A: Algae.
** DCOIT has activity against bacteria, but DCOIT alone is not sufficient for complete protection against bacteria.
*** DCOIT may not provide adequate broad-spectrum protection against algae in all formulations and environments.
