AMICAL™ preservatives are available in powder and liquid forms, including AMICAL™ Flowable, which is formulated in a water-based dispersion to control fungal and mold growth in aqueous formulations. AMICAL™ Flowable does not require high shear mixing to get into the formulation.
Why AMICAL™?
- Easy to formulate and available in 40% water-based dispersion and 95% technical grade
- Mildewcide for long-lasting dry-film and in-can protection
- Proven efficacy for mold-resistant building materials (wallboards and mineral wool)
- High-temperature stability for extended drying or curing time (up to 210°C)
- Low water solubility that promotes excellent retention in the paper fibers during papermaking (10 ppm @ 25°C, pH 7)
- Good compatibility with naturally derived binders and phenolics
- Stable over a wide pH range with improved stability in alkaline formulations
- Favorable health and safety profile with low potential for sensitization
- Low-VOC preservative (water-based dispersion, 1.01 g/l according to ASTMii 6886-12)
- Broad regulatory compliance enables the international export of treated articles (US-EPA and EU-BPR)
