Why Preservatives Are Needed

Is it expensive to use biocides in my formulation?
Disinfection and preservation products protect against bacteria and microbes during the production process and actually extend the shelf-life of the end-use product, thus providing a cost savings. Without the use of biocides, formulations can become contaminated.

How do I choose the right biocide?
Choosing the right biocide with a current selection guide is not an easy exercise due to the complexity of the formulations and the chemical properties of biocides. Fortunately, we can help.

Our patent-pending TAUNOVATESM High-Throughput Testing technology helps you optimize biocide treatments. By matching the distinct chemical and environmental conditions you are looking to control, we can ensure that you’re using the right biocide at the right concentration.
