Microbial control
Microbiological protection – for sustainable paints with a long shelf life
Bioban™, Kathon™, Sea-Nine™ and Rocima™ are now part of LANXESS.
Aqueous raw materials used in the formulation of paints and coatings create the perfect environment for the growth of bacteria, fungi and yeast which can destroy these valuable formulations. Controlling these microorganisms helps increase efficiency, helps deliver a better end-use product and helps employees and consumers avoid contact with spoilage microorganisms.
With the acquisition of IFF Microbial control, we have become one of the world’s largest suppliers of microbial control products. We have not only strengthened our global presence, especially in the United States, we now also offer one of the broadest portfolios on the market for paints and coatings, as well for wet- as for dry-state preservation.
