Durion

Durion is a high-performance in-can preservative developed for water-based industrial systems requiring long-term microbial stability. It offers broad-spectrum protection against bacteria, mold, and yeast and is particularly effective in high-pH and high-viscosity formulations.

Overview

Durion is a broad-spectrum, formaldehyde-free biocide formulated to provide robust protection against bacteria, fungi, and yeast in aqueous formulations. Designed for in-can preservation, Durion performs exceptionally well in systems exposed to prolonged storage and variable temperatures. Its low toxicity profile, combined with excellent formulation compatibility, makes it an ideal choice for manufacturers of paints, adhesives, and construction chemicals. Durion ensures long-lasting microbial protection without compromising product stability, clarity, or odor.
