Irgaguard F 3510 2-Thiazol-4-yl-1H-benzoimidazole 148-79-8 Ciba Biocides >> Algicide & Fungicide Biocides >> Biocide, Film protection IRGAGUARD F3510 is fungicidal additive containing 10 % IRGAGUARD F 3000 as active ingredient in polypropylene. IRGAGUARD F 3000 is a broad-spectrum fungicide that is highly effective against mold, rot, blight and stain. The thermal stability of IRGAGUARD F 3000 allows processing temperatures above 300 °C. The use of IRGAGUARD F 3510 can be recommended in applications especially where humid conditions promote the growth of fungi. Key areas of applications are building & construction (artificial wood, plastic lumber, wood filled plastics, decking, mobile homes, artificial turf, air conditioning), carpet & textile (awnings, carpets, cushions, ticking, mattresses), crates, pallets, etc. IRGAGUARD F 3510 prevents growth of fungi on plastic surfaces, which often is accompanied by color formation, odor development and deterioration of physical properties. It is the ideal product to guarantee hygienic properties for many finished goods providing a means to differentiate. The pellet form combines a remarkably low dust content with excellent fluidity. These pellets are highly resistant to attrition; offer a narrow particle size distribution and improved industrial hygiene. Due to the low dosing rates and a good compatibility to other matrixes no impact on mechanical properties has been found. The combination of low migration rates versus high activity of IRGAGUARD F 3000 generally provides long lasting fungicidal efficacy. Fungicidal additive. Prevents growth of fungi on plastic surfaces. Provides low migration rates and high activity. Exhibits long lasting fungicidal efficacy. Offers low dust content with very good fluidity. Possesses highly resistant to attrition and improved industrial hygiene.
