ROCIMA™ 586

ROCIMA™ 586 is a dual in-can bactericide–fungicide blend of CMIT/MIT and bronopol for exceptional protection against a wide range of bacteria and fungi.

Overview

ROCIMA™ industrial microbicides are a collection of in-can and thin-film preservatives from LANXESS designed for excellent broad-spectrum protection against bacteria and fungi, including Pseudomonas species.

ROCIMA™ 586 is fast acting, which helps reduce production downtime and delays due to contamination. It has two different modes of biocidal activity, adding protection against tough microbes found in manufacturing environments. ROCIMA™ 586 is appropriate for a multitude of product applications, such as paints, coatings, adhesives, paper, and paperboard at lower pH ranges. This product is also approved for certain industrial uses (see the federal label).
