Antimicrobial

A trend of switching from solvent-based products to water-based has been observed over the past decades. Usage of less volatile organic compounds, aiming to perform better on health and environmental aspects came out as main reason for this change. Though this switch made products vulnerable to spoilage. To combat such problem, antimicrobial additives are added in the water-based systems. Antimicrobials kill or slow the spread of microorganisms which include bacteria, viruses, algae, fungi etc.

Preservative For Water Borne Paints

In Can Preservatives

Water borne paints and coatings, inks, emulsions, adhesives require biocides as a form of IN CAN preservatives for conservation to stop product spoilage inside the container prior to use. The following product range is specifically offered for that purpose :

Asicide Ic 5

Is an ‘INCAN’ preservative developed for the protection of water borne systems against microbial spoilage in the wetstate.

Asicide Ic 10

Is a ‘Formaldehyde Free INCAN’ preservative specifically developed for the complete micro biological protection of water borne systems against microbial spoilage in the wetstate.

Asicide Ic 25

Is a ‘Formaldehyde free IN CAN’ preservative developed specifically for the micro biological protection of water borne systems developed from starch-based formulations. Usually starch-based formulations are prone to microbiological attack as compared to cellulose-based paints.

Dry Film Preservatives

Temperature, humidity, sunlight accelerate the growth of fungi and algae leading to visible material destruction on painted wall surface. To combat such problem, DRY FILM preservatives are added in paint formulation which protect water based exterior and interior surfaces from deterioration. This in turn offers longer life to painted surface.

The following product range has specifically been offered for that purpose :

Asicide Dfp 10

Is a highly homogeneous ‘DRY FILM’ preservative developed for the protection of damp surfaces and products from fungal growth at wide pH range.

Asicide Dfp 20

Is a ‘DRY FILM’ preservative developed for the protection of damp surfaces and products from fungal growth at low and neutral pH range.

Asicide Dfp 50

Is a ‘DRY FILM’ preservative developed for the protection of damp surfaces and products from fungal and algal growth.

Antimicrobial Chemical For Fiberboard

Fiberboard is an engineered wood product formed by breaking down softwood into wood fibers, combining it with a resin binder. Finally, the mixture is turned into panels of varied size and shape by applying high temperature and pressure. In order to protect fiberboards from microbial attack, biocides are added during the manufacturing process.

Asicide 500

An antimicrobial agent has specifically been developed to induce long-term microbiological protection of fiberboard panels from microbial attack. The product shows excellent compatibility with the resin used in the system.

Plywood Surface Treatment Chemical

Plywood surfaces get microbes, especially fungus affected when exposed to moist environment. Antimicrobial treatment is required in order to protect plywood surfaces from microbial spoilage.

Asicide 550

A surface treatment chemical has specifically been developed to induce long-term protection of plywood surfaces from microbial infestation.

Antimicrobial Chemical For Textile

In recent years, antimicrobial textiles have attracted a great deal of interest due to their potential for reducing the transmission of infection in medical and health care environments. Performance and lifespan of garments are largely enhanced by applying antimicrobial additives during manufacturing of fabrics. On the other hand, in these fabrics, the formation of unpleasant odors is reduced. This means that textiles still have a pleasant and fresh smell after use. In a nutshell, antimicrobial textiles provide the benefits in hygiene, odour control and protection of the fabrics from microbial attack.

Our Asicide series offers antimicrobial product specifically designed for textile industry.
