Application information

Metasol® TK-100 is off-white to tan powder of thiabendazole.
Metasol® TK-100 has low volatility and is both pH and temperature stable. Metasol® TK-100 also has a low water solubility and a good fungicidal efficacy. When combined with another fungicide active, Metasol® TK- 100 provides long term dry-film protection.
Metasol® TK-100 will not adversely affect product physical properties or performance and should not impart odor or color to most final products.
The appropriate dose of Metasol® TK-100 depends on several factors: raw materials, microbial load, pH, estimated storage time. Good manufacturing practices can help optimizes the Metasol® TK-100 effectiveness.
To obtain reliable and reproducible results, homogeneous distribution in the materials to be protected must be ensured by taking suitable measures in production (stirring, agitating, etc.).
As with any product, the use of this product must be tested (including field testing) prior to incorporating into finished product.
