VINKOCIDE™ KO

VINKOCIDE™ KO is a broad-spectrum preservative developed by Vink Chemicals, featuring two key active ingredients: 1,2-Benzisothiazolin-3-one (BIT) and 2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (OIT). This specialized formulation is designed for products with high pH levels (up to pH 10), delivering superior antifungal efficacy—a distinct advantage over many other preservatives that tend to be unstable in alkaline environments.

Key Features

  • Broad Antimicrobial Spectrum: Effective against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, molds, and yeasts
  • High Chemical Stability: Performs reliably in high-pH environments (up to pH 10), making it suitable for challenging formulations.
  • Long-Lasting Efficacy: Maintains preservative performance over extended periods, minimizing product degradation.
  • Excellent Compatibility: Easily integrates with a wide range of raw materials and formulations.
  • Strong Antifungal Activity: OIT is particularly potent against molds and yeasts, complementing BIT’s stronger antibacterial action.

Applications

  • VINKOCIDE™ KO is suitable for preserving a wide range of water-based formulations, including: - Dispersed paints - Joint compounds and fillers - Polymer dispersions - Adhesives and binders - Sealants - Wax emulsions and printing inks - Slurries (kaolin, starch, pigments) - Cleaning products, automotive care items, and construction materials - Leather and textile formulations
  • Industrial Applications Also effective for: - Metalworking fluids - Industrial recirculating water systems
  • Recommended Dosage 0.1–0.2% (w/w) for most applications

VINKOCIDE™ DBNPA 20

VINKOCIDE™ DBNPA 20

VINKOCIDE™ DBNPA 20 is a fast-acting, environmentally friendly biocide based on the active ingredient 2,2-dibromo-3-nitrilopropionamide (DBNPA). It is ideal for applications requiring immediate microbial control, such as industrial water treatment, paper manufacturing, oil and gas extraction, and metalworking fluids. The product’s key strengths include rapid antimicrobial action, biodegradability, high efficacy against bacteria and slime, and compliance with international safety and environmental regulations.
