Troy Mergal K 14 is a microbiocide that is effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria,yeasts, molds and algae. It may be used as an industrial preservative for emulsions, dispersion paints and coatings, adhesives, metal working fluids and building materials.
It is not to be used in formulations intended for food contact paper coatings or food contact adhesive use.
Mergal®K14 by Ataman Kimya is a liquid and may be added at any point in the production process.
For best results it should be added as early in the manufacturing process as possible.
If high temperature or high alkalinity are expected in the manufacturing process, it is suggested that Troy Mergal K 14 be added after these conditions have been controlled.
Usage rates may vary depending on the application and the user is advised to test the material to determine the exact usage in an individual application.
Usage levels in diluted metal working fluids are typically 0.025 to 0.20% based on the total weight of the formulation. Typical usage rates are 0.10 to 0.20% in emulsions,paints and coatings, and joint cements based on the total weight of the formulation.
Usage rates of 0.15 to 0.30% are typical for adhesives based on the total weight of the formulation.
For Home Care cleaning products and laundry additives use 0.15-0.3 lbs/100lbs. of
formulation
MERGAL K14
Description:
Mergal K 14 isothiazolinone (CMIT / MIT) internal preservative providing a broad spectrum of activity against bacteria, yeast, fungi and mold. It is recommended for aqueous adhesives, pigment and clay suspensions, starch solutions, sealants, latex paints and inks, wetting solutions, polymer emulsions, rheological modifiers and wax emulsions. The product is fast acting and suitable for systems with a pH of 3 to 8-9
Properties:
This product demonstrates improved performance and improved activity over conventional isothiazolinone bactericides. Mergal K 14 provides improved sanitation speed and greater resilience to re-invasion of microorganisms.
Mergal® K14 is more robust in these challenging conditions and retains more sanitary strength where conventional CMIT / MIT products experience severe loss of activity.
In some markets and for some applications, low levels of chloromethyl isothiazolinone (15-30 ppm) are desirable. Mergal K14 is an excellent choice for these applications as it is
a synergistic combination of preservatives (just a small portion of a formulation such as CMIT). Mergal K14 has a wide range of activity against bacteria, yeast and some algae.
Appearance: clear yellow liquid.
Application:
Mergal K14 is a liquid product that can be easily incorporated into aqueous systems. It can be used in adhesives that can come into direct or indirect contact with food, as a
component of paper and cardboard in contact with aqueous, dry and fatty products, and in pigment pastes.
