Regulatory and consumer pressure on formaldehyde are driving many paint and latex manufacturers to eliminate the use of preservatives which release formaldehyde as their mechanism of action.

VOC regulations are also continuously evolving so that low- and zero-VOC paint and coatings has become a requirement that is affecting all coatings formulators.

Rohm and Haas offers a full range of formaldehyde free ROCIMA™ , KATHON™, and KORDEK™ solutions for in-can preservation which can replace formaldehyde-releasing preservatives.

Rohm and Haas innovative isothiazolone based solutions are more efficient than formaldehyde releasers. They will protect your water borne coatings and latex against microbial contaminations under harshest conditions.

Apart from preserving their products, paint and latex manufacturers often need plant hygiene support, to ensure that the preservation system is effective. This is even more important in a formaldehyde-free environment. Rohm and Haas has extensive experience in formaldehyde-free systems and supports customers with plant hygiene.

Let our experts help you choose the right biocide for your plant and give you some hygiene support.
