Q1: What is Solvay Tolcide PS 75 Biocide primarily used for?
A: Solvay Tolcide PS 75 Biocide is a broad-spectrum preservative designed for use in water-based industrial formulations, including coatings, adhesives, construction chemicals, and metalworking fluids, where long-term microbial control is required.
Q2: Is Tolcide PS 75 compatible with common formulation ingredients such as surfactants and thickeners?
A: Yes, Tolcide PS 75 exhibits good compatibility with many anionic, nonionic, and amphoteric surfactants, as well as common rheology modifiers and coalescing agents—though compatibility testing under actual formulation conditions is always recommended.
Q3: How should Tolcide PS 75 be incorporated into a formulation?
A: It is typically added during the cool-down phase of manufacturing, after high-temperature processing is complete, to preserve biocidal activity. Direct addition to the aqueous phase with gentle mixing is preferred for optimal dispersion and stability.
Q4: Does Tolcide PS 75 offer protection against both bacteria and fungi?
A: Yes—it delivers effective control against a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, yeasts, and molds, making it suitable for formulations prone to spoilage from multiple microbial sources.
Q5: What is the typical dosage range for Tolcide PS 75 in finished products?
A: Dosage depends on formulation composition, pH, storage conditions, and microbial challenge level; it is generally used at low concentrations, typically ranging from 0.1% to 2.0% by weight of the final product.
