- Product Characteristics
- BIOTREND BIT20-S penetrates the cells of microorganisms, reacts with vital parts of the cells and inactivates important substrates and enzymes necessary to normal cell function. These relatively unspecific reactions exhibit a bactericidal effect and minimize adaptation or the development of microbial resistance.
- BIOTREND BIT20-S prevents microbial deterioration of products and resulting consequences such as:
- Phase separation
- Odor build-up
- Gas build-up
- Changes in viscosity
- Build-up of health threatening toxins

- Formulation Applications
- BIOTREND BIT20-S is highly suitable for the preservation of a wide variety of aqueous based products due to its broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity and good thermal and chemical stability.
- It shows highest efficacy in a wide pH range of pH 4 – 10 and is chemically stable from pH 2 – 12 and also light stable. Experience shows that compatibility with most products and raw materials is excellent, although compatibility testing is recommended for special formulations.
- Under normal use patterns concentrations of 0.05 – 0.3% are sufficient in most applications.
