DESCRIPTION
Preventol MPT 11-40 is an in-can preservative intended to protect formulated products, and Preventol MPT 11-40 works by inhibiting growth of bacteria, fungi, and yeast in aqueous media.
Preventol MPT 11-40 is typically dosed at low levels, and the effective use level depends on pH, temperature, raw material contamination load, and the intended shelf life.
Preventol MPT 11-40 should be added with adequate mixing to ensure uniform distribution, and Preventol MPT 11-40 is commonly added during cool-down or final adjustment stages to minimize losses in sensitive systems.
Preventol MPT 11-40 performance can be influenced by formulation components such as surfactants, thickeners, pigments, and reducing agents, so compatibility screening is recommended.
Preventol MPT 11-40 may be less effective in strongly alkaline or strongly reducing environments, so preservation strategy should be optimized for challenging pH and contamination conditions.
Preventol MPT 11-40 is designed for product preservation, and Preventol MPT 11-40 should not be confused with dry-film preservatives used to protect cured coatings from surface mold.
Preventol MPT 11-40 can cause skin sensitization in susceptible individuals, so Preventol MPT 11-40 must be handled with appropriate PPE and exposure controls.
Preventol MPT 11-40 should be stored in original tightly closed packaging and protected from extreme temperatures to maintain stability and performance.
Preventol MPT 11-40 must be used in compliance with local biocide regulations and labeling requirements applicable to the target market and product category.

FIRST AID
Inhalation:
Move to fresh air if vapors or mists are inhaled.
Seek medical attention if respiratory symptoms persist.
Avoid breathing aerosols during high-shear mixing and spraying operations.
Skin Contact:
Remove contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly with soap and water.
Seek medical attention if irritation, rash, or sensitization symptoms develop.
Do not reuse contaminated clothing until it has been washed.
Eye Contact:
Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes.
Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do, then continue rinsing.
Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Ingestion:
Rinse mouth with water and do not induce vomiting.
Seek medical attention promptly if a significant amount is swallowed.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Note to Physicians:
Treat symptomatically.
Skin sensitization potential should be considered if dermatitis develops.
Provide supportive care based on exposure route and symptoms.
HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling:
Use appropriate PPE including chemical-resistant gloves and safety glasses or goggles.
Avoid skin contact and avoid generating mists, and wash hands after handling.
Do not eat, drink, or smoke in handling areas, and maintain good industrial hygiene practices.
Ventilation:
Use general ventilation for normal handling.
Use local exhaust where aerosols or mists can be generated during mixing, pumping, or spraying.
Avoid confined areas where vapors or mists may accumulate.
Storage:
Store in tightly closed original containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place.
Protect from freezing and from excessive heat, and keep away from direct sunlight.
Keep away from incompatible chemicals that may deactivate biocides or cause decomposition (system dependent).
Spill and Leak Procedures:
Contain the spill and absorb with inert material.
Collect into suitable containers for disposal according to local regulations.
Wash the contaminated area with water while preventing slip hazards on wet surfaces.
Handling Precautions:
Confirm the effective dose in the finished formulation using microbial challenge testing where appropriate.
Verify compatibility with pH, thickeners, pigments, and reducing agents to avoid loss of preservative efficacy.
Rotate stock using FIFO practices to maintain consistent quality and predictable preservation performance.
