In-Can Preservation

The health, safety, air quality, and odor concerns associated with the solvents in oil-based paints have moved people towards water-based latex paints. Environmentally-compatible, water-based coatings are susceptible to bio-deterioration. Bacteria, fungi and yeast can develop inside the can and damage the quality of the paint.

All water-based paints require customized In-can preservation to prevent contamination of the paint and allow a longer storage capability. Many active agents are available on the market but to choose the right In-can biocide the formulator has to find the perfect mix to achieve the required level of performance and protection. This part of the center is dedicated to In-can biocides and will provide you information on:

  How to avoid Contamination?
  What makes a Good Biocide?
  Fast-acting In-Can Biocides
  Head Space Protection

Moreover, when they choose the In-can preservation for their paints, managers should be aware of the latest regulations as they are very restrictive with the type of biocide agents that can be used.


Properties for good In-can preservation biocides:
	A broad spectrum

	Long-term protection
