BIOCIDE LXE 100  is a wet state preservative with a very wide application field such as paints, plasters, adhesives, inks, dispersion and emulsion binders and aqueous technical products in general. It can be used alone or in combination with other active ingredients such as methylisothiazolone  or formaldehyde donors.

BIOCIDE LXE 100  is a proven slimicide in paper manufacturing. BIOCIDE LXE 100  contains neither formaldehyde nor cationic or phenolic substances. Therefore, it is particularly suited for use in products not compatible with these substances. BIOCIDE LXE 100  has a broad spectrum of activity. It is effective against gram-positive and gram-negative, aerobic and anaerobic bacteria as well as against mould and yeast.

The number of technical products being preserved with BIOCIDE LXE 100 is increasing steadily and it is not always possible to predict its suitability. The optimum use should be established by a preliminary experiment. In critical cases, predilution with water is often helpful. The optimum dosage rate of BIOCIDE LXE 100 depends upon the degree of contamination and the susceptibility of the product to be preserved. Occasionally, the degree of contamination exhibits seasonal fluctuation, so that a periodical determination of germ counts can assist in choosing the optimum dosage rate. Therefore, the ranges of concentrations listed below should be taken as general guidelines only.
