Description of Nipacide PC;
Nipacide PC (BP) is a prill form chlorophenolic, low toxicity biocide developed for the complete in-can protection of water based products.
Nipacide PC (BP) is effective against a wide range of microorganisms including gram positive and gram negative bacteria, yeast and fungi.
Microorganisms grow at a rapid rate and without use of the correct biocide, numbers can increase dramatically.
Example of the numbers of bacteria able to grow in products if left unpreserved:
• Time = 0 mins 1
• Time = 40 mins 4
• Time = 3 hrs 1024
• Time = 5 hrs 16,384
• Time = 7 hrs 1,048,576
• Time = 10 hrs 107,000,000,000
Time = 24 hrs
236,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
In-Can degradation in paints, polymer and adhesives as a result of bacterial and fungal contamination, can result in:
• Loss of viscosity
• Gassing
• Discoloration
• Bad odors
• Product splitting
• Loss of adhesion
• Production clean down and production down time
• Loss of profit
Applications of Nipacide PC;
Nipacide PC (BP) is recommended for preservation of a wide range of applications including, casein and animal bone based adhesives, metal working fluids, Textile sizes and finishes and Leather.
Nipacide PC (BP) can also be used for some disinfectant applications.
Nipacide PC (BP) is effective against a wide range of spoilage organisms and effective over a wide pH and temperature range.
Nipacide PC (BP) should be one of the biocide of choice for products with pH >8 and production temperatures of >40 C.
