High-performance solutions for long-term microbial control in water-based and industrial coating formulations.
Biocides for Adhesives & Sealants – Stability-Focused Preservation Solutions
Water-based adhesives and sealants are highly susceptible to microbial contamination during storage and use. Choosing the right biocide is critical to ensure long-term stability, formulation compatibility, and consistent performance.
At EasyChem, we supply industrial-grade biocides specifically selected for water-based adhesives and sealants, helping manufacturers prevent spoilage without compromising adhesion strength or viscosity.
Water-based adhesive and sealant formulations provide an ideal environment for bacteria, yeast, and fungi. Without proper preservation, microbial growth can cause:
Viscosity loss or thickening
Unpleasant odor formation
Reduced bonding strength
Shortened shelf life
Production batch failures
Using compatible antimicrobial agents for sealants and adhesives ensures product integrity from production to end use.
Unlike other water-based products, adhesives and sealants demand higher formulation tolerance. An effective biocide must offer:
✔ Excellent compatibility with polymer emulsions
✔ No negative impact on adhesion or curing
✔ Stability across a wide pH range
✔ Low odor and low use levels
✔ Long-term in-can preservation
This is why generic preservatives often fail in adhesive systems.
Based on formulation compatibility and field performance, the following products are widely used as preservatives for water-based adhesives.
BIT preservative is a widely accepted solution for long-term microbial control in water-based adhesives and sealants.
Key advantages in adhesives:
Excellent compatibility with acrylic and vinyl emulsions
Minimal impact on viscosity and bonding strength
Effective against bacteria and fungi
