Lonza Lonzagard CP-100 Biocide – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary mode of action of Lonzagard CP-100 Biocide?

A: Lonzagard CP-100 Biocide functions as a broad-spectrum preservative through controlled release of active biocidal components, primarily targeting bacteria, yeasts, and molds by disrupting essential cellular processes such as membrane integrity and metabolic activity.


Q2: In which types of industrial formulations is Lonzagard CP-100 typically used?

A: It is commonly incorporated into water-based industrial products including metalworking fluids, latex paints, adhesives, construction chemicals, and cleaning concentrates—where long-term microbial stability and compatibility with anionic and nonionic systems are required.


Q3: How should Lonzagard CP-100 be dosed in a formulation?

A: Dosage depends on formulation composition, pH, temperature, and anticipated microbial challenge; it is typically used at low concentrations, generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight, with optimal performance achieved when added during the final stage of manufacturing under mild agitation.


Q4: Is Lonzagard CP-100 compatible with common surfactants and thickeners?

A: Yes, it demonstrates good compatibility with a wide range of anionic, nonionic, and amphoteric surfactants, as well as common rheology modifiers such as hydroxyethyl cellulose and associative thickeners—though compatibility testing under actual formulation conditions is recommended prior to full-scale implementation.


Q5: What storage conditions are recommended to maintain product efficacy?

A: Store in original tightly sealed containers at temperatures between 5°C and 30°C, protected from direct sunlight and excessive humidity; avoid freezing, as prolonged exposure to low temperatures may affect physical stability and subsequent dispersion performance.
