Description

Tomicide CAS NO 74871-16-2 is a high-purity chemical compound widely recognized for its efficacy as a specialized biocide and preservative. Its primary value lies in providing reliable microbial control, which is critical for maintaining product integrity and extending shelf life in sensitive formulations. This product is essential for manufacturers in the water treatment, paint and coating, personal care, and industrial preservation sectors who require a trusted solution to prevent spoilage and degradation.

Application

• Industrial Water Treatment: Used as a biocide in cooling towers, process water, and recirculating systems to control bacteria, algae, and fungi.
• Paints, Coatings, and Adhesives: Acts as an in-can preservative to prevent microbial spoilage during storage and as a film preservative to protect dried coatings from mold and mildew.
• Personal Care and Cosmetics: Serves as a preservative in shampoos, creams, lotions, and other formulations to ensure product safety and stability.
• Pulp and Paper Production: Employed in process waters and starch solutions to inhibit microbial growth that can cause slime and product defects.
• Metalworking Fluids: Incorporated to extend the service life of coolants and lubricants by preventing bacterial degradation.
• Household and Institutional Cleaners: Used as a preservative in liquid detergents and cleaning products to maintain efficacy over time.
