Proxel BD20 Preservative
Proxel BD20 Preservative
PROXELâ„¢ BD20 Preservative, an aqueous dispersion of 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one, is an efficient microbiostat preservative for aqueous compositions such as oil in water emulsions, latices, emulsion paints, water based adhesives, casein and rosin dispersions, textile spin-finish solutions, pesticide formulations, aqueous slurries, titanium dioxide slurries, tape joint compounds, leather processing solutions, and for the preservation of fresh animal hides and skins.
PROXEL BD20 Preservative is registered with the Environmental Protection Agency and has been granted EPA Registration No. 1258-1260. Its components are also cleared by EPA for use under 40 CFR CFR 180.920 (d) for agricultural use.
Many aqueous dispersions and emulsions can be seriously impaired during storage and use due to the growth in them of bacteria and fungi.
Features & Benefits
- Effective control of a wide range of organisms at economic concentrations.
- Long-term storage stability.
- Ease of use due to its liquid form and good compatibility in most aqueous compositions.
