Biocides for Industrial Formulators

Our customers provide chemical formulations and services for industrial processes in various industries. Dispersing, emulsifying, wetting, control of metal ions, foam control, controlling growth of microorganisms, and corrosion protection are core requirements for formulation ingredients. BASF has developed a wide range of surfactants, water-soluble polymers, chelating agents, micronutrients, waxes and wax emulsions, as well as biocides tailored to the specific needs of formulations. 

These products are used in a variety of applications such as agriculture, construction, metal surface treatment, plastics, steel manufacturing and processing, textile & leather. The modification of surface interaction on fibers, fabrics, plastic, metal, and many other substrates is a prerequisite to enabling many industrial processes and ensuring superior product performance.

Our Protectol® and Aseptrol® biocides span a variety of technologies, which enable the control of unwanted microorganisms. This avoids the degradation of other component systems (e.g. emulsification systems) and limits the contamination in, and thus efficiency of, your production processes.
