DOWICIDE 1E ANTIMICROBIAL

DOWICIDE* 1E Antimicrobial is readily soluble in most organic solvents and oils, and is only slightly soluble in water. DOWICIDE 1E Antimicrobial can be formulated with the aid of anionic emulsifiers. However, it is usually incompatible with most other types of surfactants and emulsifiers. DOWICIDE 1E Antimicrobial is Dow’s brand of o-phenylphenol. This product is uniquely effective against a wide variety of organisms, including Pseudomonas spp., Mycobacterium spp. and many types of molds and fungi.
Manufacturers of metalworking fluids incorporate DOWICIDE 1E into soluble oil and semisynthetic concentrates to control spoilage of the diluted concentrate. The utility here stems from a favorable balance of oil and water solubility characteristics. DOWICIDE 1E Antimicrobial is also utilized in preserving ceramic glazes, adhesives, and leather articles.
