BIOBAN™ SP 100

BIOBAN™ SP 100 Antimicrobial (formerly DOWICIDE™ A Antimicrobial) is readily soluble in water and in many polar organic solvents. It is usually incorporated directly into the product being preserved as a water or solvent concentrate or as the flake material.

Adhesive manufacturers incorporate BIOBAN™ SP 100 into adhesives based on starch, protein, and natural and synthetic gums. They also incorporate it into latexes to protect adhesives against attack by bacteria and mold during manufacture, storage, and throughout their service life.

The leather industry utilizes BIOBAN™ SP 100 Antimicrobial in the paste used in hide-parting operations and in sizing, finishing, and dressing materials.

Metalworking fluid manufacturers employ BIOBAN™ SP 100 to protect the finished fluid against spoilage.

Pulp and paper producers protect processing materials with BIOBAN™ SP 100, and textile producers utilize it to protect processing materials and finished yarns and cloth against the ravages of microorganisms.

Additionally, BIOBAN™ SP 100 Antimicrobial is used to control mold growth in construction materials and to preserve many products such as automotive polishes, ceramic glazes and clay slips, foam-type fire extinguisher solutions, laundry starch, plastic gaskets, polishing compounds, polyvinyl alcohol, inks, and floor wax emulsions.
