| Active Ingredient | Function | CAS Number |
|---|---|---|
| Diuron | Algaecide, broad-spectrum biocide | 330-54-1 |
| Carbendazim | Fungicide, mold inhibitor | 10605-21-7 |
| OIT | Bactericide and fungicide preservative | 26530-20-1 |
| Inert Carriers | Emulsification, viscosity control | — |
Appearance: Clear to slightly amber aqueous dispersion
pH Stability Range: ~pH 3 to 13
Thermal Stability: Stable under ambient conditions; sensitive to UV exposure, extreme pH values, and high temperatures
Diuron: Inhibits photosynthesis in microbial and algal cells, limiting growth.
Carbendazim: Prevents fungal cell division by disrupting microtubule assembly.
OIT: Acts as a membrane disruptor, impairing microbial respiration and enzyme function
Synergistic Action: Each active targets different microbial classes—algae, fungi, and bacteria—delivering complete protection for complex formulations
| Application Area | Typical Loading (% w/w) |
|---|---|
| In-can preservation (paints, adhesives) | 0.1% – 0.4% |
| Dry-film protection (coatings, sealants) | 0.5% – 3.0% |
| Masonry/Joint Compounds | 0.2% – 10% |
| Wood Stains & Interior Coatings | 0.5% – 30% |
Note: Dosage should be optimized based on formulation composition, pH, and storage conditions.
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly sealed containers, away from direct sunlight, freezing temperatures, and excessive heat
Shelf Life: 12–24 months when stored as recommended
Handling Instructions: Stir or agitate before use to ensure uniform distribution of actives
