- Product Features
- BIOTREND® Eco-Clear provides broad antimicrobial efficacy against bacteria, yeasts and fungi often effective where other preservatives fail. As a result of its’ excellent thermal, pH and chemical stability, BIOTREND® Eco-Clear provides longer-term protection compared to other chemistries that may deteriorate over time due to pH or temperature shifts in storage.
- BIOTREND® Eco-Clear 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® ECO-CLEAR prevents microbial deterioration of products and resulting consequences such as:
- Phase separation
- Odor build-up
- Gas build-up
- Changes in viscosity
- Product Benefits
- Water-based - Zero VOC
- Low viscosity liquid, easy to handle
- Does not contain formaldehyde, solvents, thickeners or dispersants
- Does not contain MIT which has been alleged cause allergic reactions and global regulatory implications
- Does not settle, dry-out or flake like dispersion products for easier pumping and handling
- Extreme broad compatibility with most coatings systems, and raw materials - wide range of applications
- Excellent chemical, thermal and pH stability (4 -12)
- Excellent long term in-can protection

- Formulation Applications
- BIOTREND® ECO-CLEAR 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.
