Q1: What types of fungi does Lonzaserve 250 effectively control?
A: Lonzaserve 250 is a broad-spectrum fungicide designed to inhibit the growth of common spoilage and contamination fungi, including Aspergillus, Penicillium, Cladosporium, and yeasts such as Candida and Rhodotorula, particularly in non-sterile industrial water systems and water-based formulations.
Q2: In which industrial applications is Lonzaserve 250 typically used?
A: It is commonly applied in metalworking fluids, latex emulsions, adhesives, paints and coatings, and other water-containing industrial products where microbial stability is critical during storage and use. Its compatibility with many anionic and nonionic surfactants makes it suitable for complex formulation matrices.
Q3: How should Lonzaserve 250 be dosed in a formulation?
A: Dosage depends on the specific formulation, microbial challenge, and process conditions. It is typically used at low concentrations—generally ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight—and is often added during the final stage of manufacturing to ensure uniform distribution and optimal preservation performance.
Q4: Is Lonzaserve 250 compatible with common biocides used in combination treatments?
A: Yes, Lonzaserve 250 demonstrates good compatibility with several widely used isothiazolinone and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, enabling synergistic or complementary activity in multi-biocide strategies. Compatibility testing under actual use conditions is recommended prior to full-scale implementation.
