Biocides
Efficient pulp, paper production requires effective slime control. Metalub solutions help control slime-forming bacteria that cause offensive odors, equipment corrosion and even spots and breaks in paper. Our solutions can also help protect your coatings, mineral slurries, latexes, starch solutions and other pigments and binders from microbial contamination to help increase operation efficiency and minimize downtime. Our portfolio of microbial solutions protects the range of processes and applications vulnerable to microbes—offering fast, effective and functional contamination control of slime and mold.
