Overview

Troysan® BCM Powder is a dry, broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent designed to inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, and algae in dry film applications. Developed by Arxada (formerly Troy Corporation), this powder preservative is particularly effective in paints, coatings, plastics, and polymer-based materials where long-term microbial resistance is critical. Formulated with carbendazim (BCM) as its active ingredient, Troysan® BCM Powder provides excellent protection against microbial degradation, discoloration, and loss of mechanical properties, especially in humid or high-moisture environments. Its powder form allows for easy dispersion into solid and semi-solid systems, ensuring consistent and reliable performance.
