ACTICIDE® PLC is a high-performance in-can preservative developed by Thor, designed for the effective protection of water-based and solvent-free formulations during production, storage, and transportation. This advanced preservative contains a CMIT/MIT (Chloromethylisothiazolinone/Methylisothiazolinone) blend and stabilizers, ensuring superior antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi, and yeast. ACTICIDE® PLC is ideal for sensitive systems requiring low use levels, excellent pH compatibility, and long-term stability without affecting color, viscosity, or gloss. Its strong performance and compliance with global regulatory standards make it the perfect choice for paints, polymer emulsions, adhesives, and construction products.
Broad-Spectrum Protection: Active against bacteria, mold, and yeast in aqueous formulations.
Low Dosage Efficiency: Effective at minimal concentrations, making it cost-efficient.
Wide pH Stability: Maintains performance across a wide pH range (4–9).
Thermal Stability: Resistant to processing and storage temperature fluctuations.
Excellent Compatibility: Does not affect product performance, color, or rheology.
Global Regulatory Compliance: Approved for industrial biocidal applications worldwide.
Paints & Coatings – Ensures in-can stability in waterborne architectural and decorative paints.
Adhesives & Sealants – Preserves water-based adhesive systems against microbial spoilage.
Polymer Emulsions – Maintains microbiological integrity of latex dispersions and synthetic emulsions.
Construction Chemicals – Protects admixtures, plasters, and grouts from microbial degradation.
Printing Inks – Prevents microbial growth in aqueous-based ink formulations.
Thickener & Pigment Slurries – Ensures clean storage for dispersions and performance additives.
