Troysan 198
Troysan 198
DESCRIPTION
Troysan 198 is a liquid, organic based bactericide used for the protection of water based products against microbial spoilage in the wet state.
Typical applications include the preservation of resins, emulsion paints, adhesives, dispersed colors, caulks, sealant and printing inks.
Two major advantages of Troysan 198 are that it is non-yellowing, and hence can be used in whites, and it is highly cost effective.
USE AND METHODS OF APPLICATIONS
Troysan 198 was specifically developed to protect aqueous materials against microbial attack during storage in the wet state.
Troysan 198
Due to its low viscosity and complete solubility in water, Troysan 198 can be easily incorporated at any point in the manufacturing operation.
Troysan 198 can be added by a chemical metering pump or by conventional liquid measure.
When used at appropriate levels, Troysan 198 will preserve the aqueous product against microbial deterioration during storage in the unopened container and during the product’s useful service life.
INCORPORATION
Troysan 198 can be easily incorporated at any point in the manufacturing operation.
It can be added by a chemical metering pump or by conventional liquid measure.
USE LEVEL
Suggested use levels vary from 0.05% to 0.6% based on the total weight of the formulation.
For the preservation of emulsion resins levels of 0.05–0.2% are recommended.
Emulsion paints and dispersed colors require levels from 0.1–0.3%, and starch adhesives levels range from 0.1–0.6%.
It is not recommended for use in systems with a pH below 7.
