Biocides

Lubricant formulations tend to have all the elements required for microbial growth: viz. a source of carbon, necessary elements, and water.

 

Preventing the growth of pathogenic micro-organisms is therefore critical for health and safety considerations.

 

To prevent the growth of micro-organisms in your  formulations, Sarbi has made available Lubide BK, a broad spectrum biocide based on triazine chemistry, which can work at low dosages, and is a cost effective additive to prevent microbial growth.
