solutions and dispersions of adhesives and thickeners, concrete additives, detergents, cleaning

agents, polishes etc.

Applications

With its broad spectrum of activity, good solubility in water and biodegradability after adequate dilution, Preventol D6 is a multipurpose preservative which is easy to use in the recommended addition. The spectrum of activity of PreventolD 6 covers bacteria, including formaldehyde-resistant species, mould fungi and yeasts.

Preventol D6 is a preservative which, because of its low viscosity, can be used undiluted or diluted with water. The product can also be predissolved in alcohols or alcohol/water mixtures. As a rule, the use of Preventol D6 as a preservative for aqueous formulations does not result in any undesirableside-effects. However, this Preventol grade is not suitable for the preservation of proteinbased products (e. g. those containing casein) or cosmetic products.

The required added quantities depend on various factors, particularly the nature and sensitivity of the product to be preserved, the value, the initial microbial content, the extent of expected contact with microorganisms, the envisaged duration of storage and the expected temperatures. The quantity of

biocide required can be optimized by taking additional hygienic measures during production, storage and transport of the preserved product.

We recommend to carry out a compatibility test with the product being preserved before Preventol D6 is used.
