Distilled Water is purified water that has been processed through distillation, a method involving evaporation and subsequent condensation to remove impurities, salts, minerals, and organic matter. This results in ultra-pure, clear, odorless, and tasteless water free of dissolved solids and contaminants. Distilled water is non-conductive, neutral in pH under ideal storage, and chemically stable. It is widely used across pharmaceutical, laboratory, medical, industrial, and consumer applications where high water purity is critical.

Acticide EPW (Dry Film)
Acticide EPW is a VOC-free, water-based dry film biocide manufactured by Thor Group specifically formulated to protect exterior and interior water-based coatings, paints, and inks from surface fungal and algal growth. It appears as a white to off-white milky dispersion or suspension with a mild odor. The product is based on a synergistic blend of active ingredients including benzimidazole carbamate, 2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one (OIT), and a urea derivative with AMME™ technology. This alkali-stable and UV-stable formulation is free from AOX (Adsorbable Organic Halogens) and VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds), making it suitable for low-VOC and environmentally conscious product formulations. Acticide EPW is manufactured for industrial use and is not intended for direct human consumption, medical applications, or food preservation.
