Biocides Ensure Reliable Microbiological Protection
Water-based raw materials used in paint and coating formulations often create conditions that promote the growth of bacteria, fungi, and yeast. As a result, microbial contamination can damage formulations and reduce product performance.
To address this challenge, LANXESS offers advanced biocide technologies that effectively control microbial growth in wet-state materials. These solutions help extend product shelf life while also protecting dry films against algae, mold, and mildew.
At the exhibition, LANXESS presented its latest range of biocides and preservatives, including:
- Preventol®
- Kathon®
- Bioban®
- Biox®
- Rocima®
