ACTICIDE® AS is a highly effective in-can preservative developed by Thor, formulated with CMIT/MIT (Chloromethylisothiazolinone / Methylisothiazolinone) for broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection. This preservative is designed for water-based systems, providing excellent resistance to bacterial and fungal contamination during production and storage. ACTICIDE® AS ensures product stability and prevents issues such as gas formation, unpleasant odor, and viscosity changes caused by microbial growth. Its low use level, excellent pH stability, and compatibility with diverse formulations make it a trusted solution for paints, coatings, polymer emulsions, adhesives, and construction chemicals.
Broad-Spectrum Control: Effective against bacteria, fungi, and yeast.
Low Dosage Efficiency: Highly concentrated formula ensures cost-effectiveness.
Excellent pH Stability: Active across a wide pH range, suitable for various formulations.
Compatible with Waterborne Systems: Easily incorporated without affecting formulation properties.
Thermal Stability: Performs reliably under typical processing and storage conditions.
Regulatory Approved: Meets global standards for industrial preservatives.
Paints & Coatings – Delivers strong in-can protection for waterborne architectural coatings.
Adhesives & Sealants – Preserves water-based adhesives against microbial degradation.
Polymer Emulsions – Protects latex dispersions and synthetic emulsions during storage.
Construction Chemicals – Suitable for admixtures, ready-mix mortars, and plasters.
Printing Inks – Maintains stability in aqueous ink systems.
Pigment Slurries & Additives – Prevents microbial growth in dispersions and thickener solutions.
