BIOBAN™ DXN is an EPA-registered biocide for the protection of water-based industrial products, processes and systems against microbiological growth and spoilage. It is a broad-spectrum biocide with efficacy against both bacteria and fungi.
BIOBAN™ DXN Antimicrobial is a microbial growth inhibitor for use only in industrial water-based products. The dosage rate for all label applications is 0.1%-0.2% by weight (1000-2000 ppm).
Adhesives:
BIOBAN™ DXN Antimicrobial is an effective preservative for industrial adhesive formulations. BIOBAN™ DXN Antimicrobial is compatible with most adhesive formulations, including starch and polyvinyl acetate.
Textile Chemicals and Finishes:
Microbial contamination of textile chemical specialties causes breakdown of the working properties of these chemicals as well as foul odors, rancidity, acidity, discoloration, and deterioration of the fibers and fabric. BIOBAN™ DXN Antimicrobial is an especially effective preservative or controlling microbial contamination in various textile chemical specialties. BIOBAN™ DXN Antimicrobial as been used effectively in dye levelers, fiber lubricants, spinning emulsions, softeners, antistats, sizings, dyes, dye dispersions, dye pastes and textile adhesives.
Specialty Industrial Products:
BIOBAN™ DXN Antimicrobial is an effective antimicrobial for use in specialty industrial products such as pigment slurries, thickeners and gums, dyestuffs, inks and lignosulfonates. These products often contain raw materials that are heavily contaminated with various microorganisms or contain ingredients that are excellent nutrients for microbial growth.
Silicone Emulsions:
BIOBAN™ DXN Antimicrobial is particularly effective for the preservation of bulk silicone emulsions. It is also effective for the preservation of silicone and oil-based emulsions that are used in antifoam emulsion systems.
Paints, Coatings and Polymer Emulsions:
BIOBAN™ DXN Antimicrobial inhibits microbiological growth during shelf-life storage of PVC, PVA, acrylic, polyethylene and other latex emulsion concentrates and latex emulsion-based paints.
