ACTICIDE® CB is a highly effective broad-spectrum in-can preservative developed by Thor, specifically designed for industrial water-based systems. This formulation contains a synergistic blend of CMIT/MIT (Chloromethylisothiazolinone and Methylisothiazolinone) combined with stabilizers to deliver outstanding microbial control at very low concentrations. ACTICIDE® CB prevents bacterial, fungal, and yeast contamination during production and long-term storage, ensuring product integrity without affecting performance characteristics like color, viscosity, or gloss. Its excellent pH stability, wide compatibility, and cost efficiency make it suitable for paints, coatings, polymer emulsions, adhesives, and construction chemicals.
Broad-Spectrum Activity: Effective against bacteria, fungi, and yeast.
Low Use Level Efficiency: Strong antimicrobial action at minimal dosage.
Excellent pH Stability: Active across a pH range of 4–9.
Thermal Stability: Withstands normal processing and storage conditions.
No Impact on Performance: Maintains product color and rheology.
Regulatory Approved: Compliant with global industrial preservation standards.
Waterborne Paints & Coatings – Provides effective in-can preservation for architectural coatings.
Adhesives & Sealants – Prevents microbial growth in aqueous adhesive systems.
Polymer Emulsions – Ensures microbiological integrity of latex dispersions.
Construction Chemicals – Preserves admixtures, plasters, and cement-based systems.
Printing Inks – Maintains storage stability of aqueous-based inks.
Pigment Slurries & Specialty Additives – Prevents contamination in dispersions and thickeners.
