PROMEX™ Na20TS

• Used as a preservative of aqueous and water miscible chemicals and technical products.
• Innovative formulation does not contribute to VOC levels.
• Broad antimicrobial efficacy against bacteria, yeasts and fungi.
• Often effective where other preservatives fail, especially at critical temperature and pH-values.
• Free from formaldehyde, formaldehyde releasers, phenolics, heavy metals, halogens.
• Excellent thermal stability ( - 5˚C - 120°C)
• Excellent chemical stability pH 2 - 12.
• Excellent long term efficacy
• Low viscosity
• Good compatibility with other commonly used raw materials.

PROMEX™ Na20TS meets the highest purity requirements. Technically generated impurities are often the cause of undesired side effects in terms of toxicological or technical properties. These impurities are reduced to a minimum in PROMEX™ Na20TS.
PROMEX™ Na20TS penetrates the cells of micro-organisms, reacts with vital parts of the cells and inactivates important substrates and enzymes necessary to normal cell function. These relatively unspecific reactions exhibit a bactericidal effect and minimize adaptation or the development of microbial resistance.

PROMEX™ Na20TS prevents microbial deterioration of products and resulting consequences such as:

• Phase separation
• Odor build-up
• Gas build-up
• Changes in viscosity
• Build-up of health threatening toxins

PROMEX™ Na20TS is highly suitable for the preservation of the majority of aqueous formulations due to its good thermal and chemical stability. It shows highest efficacy in a wide pH range of pH 4 - 12 and is chemically stable from pH 2 - 12.
Experience shows that compatibility with most products and raw materials is excellent, although compatibilitytesting is recommended for special formulations.

Application areas:
