Protect Formulations from Within – Long-Lasting Preservation for Water-Based Systems
In-can preservatives, also known as wet-state or storage preservatives, are essential antimicrobial additives designed to protect water-based formulations from microbial contamination during manufacturing, packaging, transportation, storage, and end-use. These preservatives are specifically formulated to remain active within the product container, offering long-term defense against bacteria, fungi, yeast, and mold that can degrade product quality.
Unlike dry-film or post-application biocides, in-can preservatives work inside the container—maintaining physical, chemical, and sensory stability from production to final usage. Without proper in-can protection, formulations are at high risk of developing foul odors, viscosity changes, pH drift, gas formation, discoloration, or even complete microbial spoilage.

Where Are In-Can Preservatives Used?
Paints & Coatings
To prevent spoilage of acrylics, emulsions, latex-based paints, and pigment dispersions during storage.
Adhesives & Sealants
To protect PVA-based glues, silicone emulsions, and joint sealants from microbial degradation.
Polymer Emulsions
For long-term preservation of synthetic binders, latex emulsions, and water-based polymers in construction and packaging industries.
Inks & Pigment Pastes
To maintain the color integrity and stability of water-based printing inks, textile pastes, and dye systems.
Household & Industrial Cleaners
Used in surfactant-rich systems like dishwashing liquids, detergents, and multi-purpose cleaners that are prone to microbial attack.
Construction Additives
Essential for microbial control in grouts, fillers, admixtures, waterproofing chemicals, and spray plasters.
At BiocideHub, we go beyond just listing products—we help formulators choose the right in-can preservative based on pH range, target microbes, solvent compatibility, formulation viscosity, and regulatory environment.
