Q1: What types of microorganisms does BWA BWA-380 Biocide effectively control?
A: BWA BWA-380 Biocide is a broad-spectrum preservative designed to inhibit the growth of bacteria, yeasts, and molds commonly encountered in water-based industrial formulations, including cooling water systems, metalworking fluids, and latex emulsions.
Q2: Is BWA BWA-380 Biocide compatible with common formulation ingredients such as surfactants, thickeners, and pH adjusters?
A: Yes, BWA BWA-380 Biocide demonstrates good compatibility with a wide range of non-ionic and anionic surfactants, cellulose and acrylic thickeners, and common buffering agents. Compatibility should be verified under actual formulation conditions and storage timeframes.
Q3: How stable is BWA BWA-380 Biocide under varying pH and temperature conditions?
A: BWA BWA-380 Biocide maintains effective antimicrobial activity across a typical industrial pH range of 5–9 and remains stable during standard storage and processing temperatures. Prolonged exposure to extreme heat (>50 °C) or highly alkaline environments may accelerate degradation.
Q4: What is the recommended dosage for effective preservation in water-based systems?
A: Dosage depends on system composition, microbial challenge, and regulatory requirements. BWA BWA-380 Biocide is typically used at low concentrations, generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight of the final formulation, with optimization advised via challenge testing.
