Overview

BIOBAN™ BP-10 is a highly effective, broad-spectrum biocide developed by Dow for industrial preservation applications. This preservative is based on 2-Bromo-2-Nitropropane-1,3-Diol (Bronopol), a fast-acting active ingredient that provides superior bactericidal properties. BIOBAN™ BP-10 is specifically designed to control microbial growth in water-based formulations such as paints, coatings, adhesives, polymer emulsions, and construction chemicals. It helps prevent in-can spoilage, product degradation, and viscosity changes caused by bacteria and fungi. Known for its rapid kill action and compatibility with a wide range of formulations, BIOBAN™ BP-10 is an ideal solution for manufacturers seeking immediate microbial protection with excellent long-term stability.
