Overview
KATHON™ EDC 1.5% is an industrial microbiocide specifically registered for use within electrodeposition (EDC) systems and their associated rinses, offering a reliable solution for managing bacterial growth. This control capability is crucial for enhancing the performance and longevity of EDC systems, as unchecked bacterial contamination can lead to a host of operational issues including clogging, fouling, and compromised product quality. KATHON™ EDC 1.5% helps reduce waste and the potential for costly downtimes due to microbial interference.
KATHON™ EDC is designed to be used in low concentrations, which not only makes it economical but also minimizes its environmental impact while maintaining its effectiveness against a broad spectrum of microorganisms.
