Biocides

What are biocides?

Biocides are used to inhibit the formation of, or kill existing biological growth (algae, bacteria, yeast, fungi, slime, etc). Uncontrolled biological growth can have an adverse effect on many applications including water treatment, preservation, sanitation, oil & gas operations, pulp & paper mill applications, food processing and many others. We offer the biocides - oxidizers and non-oxidizers - needed to effectively control microbial problems.

Biocidal Product Regulation (BPR) & Product Portfolio

Different to REACH under BPR formulators of biocidal products have to prepare and submit biocidal product dossiers to remain compliant on the European market once the respective active substance is listed for the first time on the Union list. Additionally, BPR requires that only active ingredients from sources listed under Article 95 (BPR) are used in Europe for the manufacture of biocidal products. Our dedicated Biocides Team throughout EMEA will provide you with comprehensive expert consultancy and will also help you with the implementation of regulations.
Our biocide portfolio contains active substances and biocidal products for a wide range of applications with a focus on disinfectants and preservatives. (PT 1- 13)
