What are formaldehyde condensates?
A class of chemicals that have served as the primary biocidal products for use in MWFs for many decades. All of the active substances currently being registered by Lubrizol in the European Biocidal Products Directive can be classified as formaldehyde condensates. Lubrizol is fully committed to supporting this class of products to allow for their continued successful use in MWFs for years to come. It is our position that formaldehyde condensates offer MWFs the most effective means of microbial control when considering application efficacy, economic, health, safety, and environmental issues in total, compared with alternative approaches.
