Mechanism of Action:

It works by disrupting the cell membranes of microorganisms and inhibiting their respiration, leading to their death.

Applications:

1. Coatings and Paints Industry:

Used in interior and exterior emulsion paints, water-based wood finishes, industrial coatings, and other products to prevent paint degradation in storage tanks and the growth of mold and algae on paint films in humid environments. It contains no mercury or lead and does not cause paint to fade or discolor due to sulfides.

2. Polymer Materials Industry:

Used as a mold inhibitor in plastic and rubber products such as PVC, polyurethane, silicone, and sealants, it is widely applied in products including electrical wires and cables, waterproof membranes, synthetic running tracks, and bathroom sealants.

3. Building Materials and Wood Industry:

Used to treat wood, fiberboard, drywall, and similar materials, providing long-lasting mold protection.

Added to concrete admixtures and architectural coatings to prevent microbial corrosion.

4. Personal Care and Detergent Industry:

Used as a preservative in certain detergents, hand soaps, and cosmetics (Note: Applications in this sector are subject to strict concentration limits and regulatory requirements).

5. Other Industrial Sectors:

Industrial circulating water treatment, papermaking, oil well drilling fluids, leather processing, etc.

Advantages and Characteristics

1. Highly Effective and Broad-Spectrum: Achieves significant antifungal and antibacterial effects with minimal dosage.

2. Good Compatibility: Compatible with most coatings, resins, and polymeric materials without affecting the physical properties of the product itself.

3. Chemical Stability: Remains stable over a wide range of pH and temperature.

4. Long-lasting: Resistant to volatilization and degradation, providing long-term protection.

5. Environmentally Friendly: At recommended concentrations, it has a relatively low environmental impact and contains no heavy metals.
