CMIT/MIT In-Can Preservative
In-Can Biocide and Preservative
GXL is a CIT/MIT-free in-can preservative for water-based coatings, polymer emulsions and pigment dispersions.
GXL helps prevent spoilage of water-based products caused by bacteria, yeasts and fungi. It offers good compatibility and alkali resistance for in-can preservation during formulation storage. Applications include water-based coatings, polymer emulsions and pigment dispersions.
Suitable application conditions are system pH 4.0–12 and a temperature no higher than 120°C. Add at any production stage, preferably as early as possible. The recommended use concentration is 0.05%–0.3%. Conduct compatibility trials before first use and check the effects of addition temperature, pH and redox potential on product stability.
Packed in 25 kg or 1000 kg drums. Store in a cool, ventilated place protected from light. Shelf life is 12 months.
