Industrial microbicides offer broad-spectrum protection against bacteria and fungi in various applications. They are EPA-registered and provide increased processing flexibility, ease of handling, and good compatibility in most aqueous compositions, which provide the flexibility to address diverse requirements, and boast advantages such as low toxicity, easy incorporation into latex emulsions, and excellent chemical stability in high-pH systems.

Issues regarding the limited efficacy against certain robust bacterial or fungal species

Contamination and spoilage in industrial products and cleaning solutions, affecting both product longevity and quality

Preservation challenges in both high and low pH systems, demanding adjustments and formulations that are compatible with such extreme environments

Use restrictions of biocidal actives in both commercial and consumer products that necessitate a careful balance between achieving microbial control and complying with regulatory standards
