Adhesives, caulks, and sealants, especially water-based or silicone-based ones, are susceptible to microbial contamination, which can lead to spoilage, defacement, and a reduced product lifespan.
In the home, microbial contamination, such as mold and mildew, is not only unsightly but also poses significant health risks, particularly in moisture-rich areas, such as bathrooms and kitchens.
Bacterial and fungal growth during the manufacturing process can also cause spoilage. Implementing an effective microbial control solution is crucial for rapid decontamination, plant hygiene maintenance, and the prevention of further contamination spread
LANXESS offers a broad and versatile portfolio of both in-can and dry film preservatives that can help protect your products from microbial contamination. The LANXESS team at ChemPoint can assist you in finding the right microbial control solutions that provide the protection you need for your adhesive and sealant formulations.
Dry Film Preservatives
LANXESS dry film preservatives can help prevent contamination caused by mold and mildew after the product has been applied.
LANXESS in-can preservatives (wet state) can help prevent visible contamination, unpleasant odors, pH and viscosity changes, and other microbial degradation caused by bacteria and fungi.
Quick kill biocide for rapid decontamination of process wateror raw materials used to make industrial products
Cleans up microbial contamination when added directly into final formulated industrial products, contributing to the performance of a long-term preservative
