Products in Polymerization Additives: Alcohols

Vinkocide® CMIB 25 is a formulation containing a mixture of CMIT/MIT and Bronopol. It effectively penetrates microbial cells, disrupting vital functions and preventing microbial adaptation. Ideal for aqueous systems, it offers a broad antimicrobial spectrum against bacteria, fungi, and yeasts. Free from VOCs and organic solvents, it prevents phase separation, odor buildup, and changes in viscosity. Cost-effective with low use levels, it ensures long-term efficacy and rapid action, making it suitable for various preservation applications, including liquid-cooling systems, rodenticides, and slimicides.

Vinkocide® BND 20 utilizes 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol (Bronopol) as its active ingredient, effective against bacteria and slime-forming organisms. It demonstrates versatility by being compatible with various biocides, particularly isothiazolones. With stability up to pH 8 and temperatures of 40°C, it's suitable for aqueous products, showing low sensitization potential. Its applications include preservation in manufacturing, slimicides, and liquid-cooling systems.

S&M Phenoxyethanol is the pure active in liquid form, fully effective in both anionic and cationic systems. It operates efficiently across a wide pH range, maintaining effectiveness up to high levels. While it exhibits limited solubility in water and non-polar solvents, it readily dissolves in polar solvents. Effective preservation requires agitation with good turbulence when dissolving in water. This preservative provides good headspace protection and demonstrates stability against hydrolysis, temperature, and pH fluctuations. It is suitable for preserving manufactured products to ensure their shelf life and for controlling microbial deterioration in working or cutting fluids.

BIOTREND® BP10 W is a new water-based broad-spectrum preservative. It controls spoilage, odor-causing, slime-forming bacteria, yeast, and molds in aqueous industrial systems.BIOTREND® BP10 W include adhesives, starch, pigment and extender slurries, inks, paints, polymer emulsions, defoamers, industrial process waters, recirculating water, cooling towers, evaporative condensers, oil/gas production and transport, pulp and paper production, and general preservation.

2 Mercaptoethanol, also known as Beta-Mercaptoethanol, is a versatile chemical with applications spanning various industries. Primarily utilized in the production of water-borne coatings for acrylic resins, it serves as a crucial component for formulating corrosion inhibitors and stabilizers. Its role extends to acting as a tin-type stabilizer, a chain transfer agent in polymerization processes, and a valuable component in anti-corrosion systems for oilfield applications. As a member of the alcohols chemical family, 2-Mercaptoethanol plays a multifaceted role, contributing to the effectiveness and performance of diverse products across different industrial applications.
