A broad-spectrum biocide that does not contain or release formaldehyde, Canguard Ultra BIT 20 DPG is useful for the protection of industrial water-based products against bacteria, yeasts and fungi. It offers a number of benefits, including improved color, lower viscosity at low temperatures, and a slightly higher active percentage than the legacy product, Canguard BIT 20 DPG. It is a high-purity glycolic solution of benzisothiazolinone (BIT) that can be used in a broad range of pH and temperature conditions and in very alkaline conditions, where other preservatives are often ineffective. Used for the preservation of polymer latexes and emulsion systems, water-based paints, coatings, adhesives and oil-in-water emulsions, Canguard Ultra BIT 20 DPG is compatible with most dispersants, and provides outstanding chemical stability and good compatibility with most formulations. — Dow Biocides, Buffalo Grove, Ill.
