Mergatil RK-90 is widely used in adhesives, cutting oils, water systems, cosmetics, household goods and wound protectant for pruning cuts. They are also used as pulp and wood impregnating agents as well as in leather, fur and polymer process.
It is best if Mergatil RK-90 is added to the initial phase of production; however, if excessive temperatures or pH values occur, addition at the end of the manufacturing process is recommended.
Typical usage rates are 0.01-0.30% grm per ltrs based on the total weight of the formulation.
Mergatil RK-90 has a very broad activity spectrum against bacteria, moulds and yeasts that may cause infection and deterioration of water based products, including the following organisms:
