Technical profile

Formulating with preservatives

In-can preservatives protect water-based products from bacteria, yeast and mould between manufacture and use. The choice depends on pH, the formulation and CLP labelling requirements.

Grade advice

Tell us the application and the finished product this is going into. We will confirm the grade is compatible, stable and cost-effective in your formulation, and advise on alternatives where they would perform better.
