BIOBAN™ Phenolic Biocides

BIOBAN™ phenolic biocides (formerly DOWICIDE™ phenolic biocides) offer cost-effective antimicrobial protection for a wide variety of applications, including pulp, paper, paints, adhesives, inks, chemical toilets, and the building and construction industry. These biocides are engineered to provide robust protection against microbial contamination, ensuring longevity and effectiveness of the end products. BIOBAN™ phenolic biocides’ versatility in applications makes them a preferred choice for formulators seeking reliable microbial control solutions. Using BIOBAN™ phenolic biocides can significantly reduce spoilage and degradation, improving overall quality and customer satisfaction.
 

Regulatory restrictions on isothiazolinone biocides and preservatives have increasingly become a significant challenge in the industry, leading to a supply tightness of these widely used microbial control agents. This situation arises partly due to heightened environmental and health safety concerns that have prompted more stringent regulations and limitations regarding their use. As a result, manufacturers have been compelled to seek alternative solutions to meet their microbial control needs without compromising safety and regulatory compliance. Furthermore, the limited efficacy of in-can biocides against fungi exacerbates this issue, as these biocides often fail to provide the robust protection required to prevent fungal contamination effectively.
