The new dual-function Sanitized® BDC works as in-can preservative and product sanitation agent for the paint industry.
The Swiss-based antimicrobial solutions provider SANITIZED AG has recently presented Sanitized® BDC, a powerful dual-function product developed starting from three active ingredients to protect aqueous systems such as polymer dispersions and paints.
Sanitized BDC offers both product sanitation and in-can preservation for long-term stability, offering an alternative to zinc-pyrithione as well as a pure product for markets with tight biocide regulations. Composed by DBNPA (2.2-Dibrom-2-cyanacetamide), Bronopol (2-Bromo-2-nitro-1.3-propanediol) and CMIT/MIT (Chlormethylisothiazolinone/Methylisothiazolinone, it is effective at low concentrations and can reduce manufacturing run times, simplify processes and increase product safety.
In addition to the broad spectrum of efficacy, Sanitized BDC provides also headspace protection within the packaging, making it suitable for long-term in-can preservation whilst at the same time being fast-acting. The pH stability range is from 2 to 9, so it is also an ideal product as water disinfection for paint manufacturing. Furthermore, it is process-, shear- and heat-stable under normal manufacturing conditions, allowing application during any process step.
