LANXESS Antimicrobials and Preservatives

Overview

Antimicrobials and preservatives offer broad spectrum protection against bacteria, yeast, and mold. They increase the shelf life of consumer products and provide overall cost savings. The line includes AMICAL™ preservatives, which are useful in controlling microbial degradation. BIOBAN™ is a diverse family of bactericides and fungicides that are useful preservatives in a variety of applications.

Problems Solved

Poor dry-film preservation performance can significantly affect the longevity and aesthetic quality of products, posing a critical challenge in maintaining durable coatings. Many dry-film preservatives also pose the challenge of limited thermal stability, which can degrade under high temperatures, reducing their effectiveness. 

The growth of fungi or algae on dry paint not only detracts from visual appeal but also compromises the integrity of the protective layer, leading to potential structural damage over time. Exterior coatings are particularly susceptible to mold growth due to constant exposure to fluctuating environmental conditions. Interior coatings face similar issues, such as high humidity areas where mold proliferation can occur rapidly. 

In commercial laundry applications, the issue of mildew growth can jeopardize both fabric quality and hygiene.
