ADDITIVES A D VER T ORIA L Arch Chemicals, Inc. Introducing Proxel® BZ Plus Preservative VOCs continue to disappear from paint and latex formulations, the alternative “greener” solutions become more susceptible to microbial spoilage – leading to a need for novel preservatives. Compounding this issue, increasing regulatory requirements have put pressure on many currently used biocides as they face new restrictions. This demand to minimize use levels of existing biocides, in combination with reduced availability of new biocides, has left the industry with a diminishing number of options. As a result, work has been undertaken to identify a biocide option that would provide more consistent microbial control in these formulations. Proxel ® BZ Plus Preservative, a unique combination of Proxel ® preservatives and Omadine ® antimicrobials, offers a dual mode of action for inhibiting microbial growth in latex emulsions, water-based paints, adhesives and pigment dispersions – preventing discoloration and pro-viding the extra protection you and your customers need against mold, mildew and bacteria. About Arch Chemicals, Inc. Headquartered in Norwalk, Connecticut (USA), Arch Chemi-cals, Inc. is a global biocides company with annual sales of approximately $1.5 billion.
