Ciba® IRGAGUARD®
Adhesives and sealants are seeing increased use in household, packaging, medical, as well as construction applications. As a result, there is a rising demand to protect adhesives and sealants from exposure to bacteria and other microbes. Microbial contamination of an adhesive or sealant can lead to unpleasant odors, biofilm formation, discoloration and staining, as well as degradation. That is why the need for effective biocides for both preventative and protective measures are essential for the protection of the adhesive or sealant itself. |
