Call for alternatives to in-can preservatives for paints, varnishes and adhesives

  • Date 2020-02-27

Are you a supplier/manufacturer or user of in-can preservatives for paints, varnishes and adhesives?

We are looking for drop-in/technical or functional alternatives to the typical biocides for Product-type (PT) 6 “Preservatives for products during storage” (Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR, Regulation (EU) 528/2012)).

If you want to share your information with us please contact subsportplus@baua.bund.de and luedeke.andreas@baua.bund.de.

You can also meet us to discuss alternatives and possibilities to reduce biocide application on our next substitution event:

“Perspectives of the substitution of isothiazolinones as preservatives (In-can preservatives) in paints, varnishes and adhesives”

Where and when? It takes place on 25th February 2021 at the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (BAuA) in Dortmund.

Further information on the program and registration formalities are available here. Please be aware that the event will take place in German only.
