Overview

BIOBAN™ BP-30 is a high-performance industrial preservative developed by Dow, specifically formulated to deliver rapid and reliable microbial control in water-based systems. Its active ingredient, 2-Bromo-2-Nitropropane-1,3-Diol (Bronopol), is well-known for its fast bactericidal action and broad-spectrum efficacy. BIOBAN™ BP-30 is ideal for paints, coatings, adhesives, polymer emulsions, construction chemicals, and process water systems. It provides an effective barrier against bacteria and fungi, preventing spoilage and maintaining product quality throughout storage and application. Due to its strong performance at low concentrations, BIOBAN™ BP-30 is an economical solution for manufacturers who require immediate protection and extended shelf life for their formulations.
