Select Your Dry-film Preservative from LANXESS:
To formulate a product that will stand the test of time, it is essential to protect the dry-film from fungal and algae contaminations. The optimal dry-film preservative package will vary by product and by application. Explore LANXESS Microbial Control products for dry-film preservation:
* Efficacy: B: Bacteria, F: Fungi, A: Algae.
** DCOIT has activity against bacteria, but DCOIT alone is not sufficient for complete protection against bacteria.
*** DCOIT may not provide adequate broad-spectrum protection against algae in all formulations and environments.
