Amical™ 48 Antimicrobial

Amical^TM 48 inhibits the growth of many mircobes associated with odors, staining, discoloration, and general biodeterioration. Amical^TM 48 can be used for the preservation of paper and paperboard, adhesives, caulks, pigment dispersions, inks, slurries, adhesives, caulks, sealants, as well as non-wovwns, rubber, plastics and wood during storage and use.

The active ingredient in Amical^TM 48 has a broad spectrum efficacy and excellent retention in treated articles due to its low water solubility, making it an excellent dry-film fungicide. Under most use conditions, Amical^TM 48 will not adversely affect product physical properties or performance and should not impart odor or color to most final products.
The appropriate dose of Amical^TM 48 depends on several factors: raw materials, microbial load, pH,
estimated storage time. Good manufacturing practices can help optimize effectiveness.
