Lonza Lonzaserve 250 Biocide – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary mode of action of Lonzaserve 250 Biocide?

A: Lonzaserve 250 Biocide functions as a broad-spectrum preservative through the controlled release of formaldehyde, which disrupts essential cellular processes in microorganisms including bacteria, yeasts, and molds.


Q2: In which types of industrial formulations is Lonzaserve 250 typically used?

A: It is commonly incorporated into water-based industrial products such as metalworking fluids, latex paints, adhesives, construction chemicals, and cleaning concentrates where long-term microbial stability is required.


Q3: How should Lonzaserve 250 be added to a formulation for optimal performance?

A: It is recommended to add Lonzaserve 250 during the cool-down phase or at the end of the manufacturing process, after pH adjustment, to minimize premature formaldehyde release and ensure consistent preservation efficacy.


Q4: Is Lonzaserve 250 compatible with common surfactants and thickeners used in industrial formulations?

A: Yes, it demonstrates good compatibility with anionic, nonionic, and amphoteric surfactants, as well as associative and cellulosic thickeners—though compatibility testing under actual formulation conditions is advised prior to full-scale implementation.
