Dow Biocides

Why Biocides First?

Value-added product development. In-can preservation. Core active ingredient selection. Whatever your application area, selecting the right biocide early in your formulation process can improve the efficiency, shorten the product development cycle and avoid costly product recalls downstream. Dow Biocides, the supplier with the largest and most diverse biocides portfolio and trusted global microbiology and regulatory resources, can be a powerful addition to your product development team.

Value-added product development — Development of new, high-performance products can create lucrative market opportunities for your company. They can also create significant formulation challenges for you. If you’re developing anti-bacterial or mold- and mildew-resistant products that offer added-value to the end-user, Dow Biocides can provide you with critical superior laboratory capabilities, regulatory expertise and the right choice of products for your application. Working together, we can shorten your product development cycle, streamline the regulatory compliance process and help ensure the success of your products.

In-can preservation — Many of you are formulation chemists, not microbiologists. That’s why a close working relationship with Dow Biocides throughout the formulation process can help prevent bacterial or fungal spoiling no matter what your products are or where in the world you distribute them. Dow Biocides has a deep understanding of chemical compatibility and the spectrum of microbiological activity combined with a complete product portfolio to meet your unique specifications.

Core active ingredient selection — If biocides are the core active ingredient in your products — such as in high-level disinfection and water treatment applications — expertise in risk management, regulatory compliance and registration support are critical for you. In many cases, so is the global supply which Dow Biocides provides.

Boasting the industry’s largest and most diverse product portfolio, Dow Biocides offers a product for just about every type of microbial challenge and system requirement. The performance capabilities range from high to low pH performance, quick kill to sustained performance and a range of registrations unparalleled in the industry.
