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.
Activated Carbon (Charcoal)
Activated carbon is a highly porous, adsorptive material processed to have an exceptionally large surface area (typically 500-1500 m²/g) through thermal or chemical activation of carbon-rich source materials. This versatile adsorbent exists in powdered (PAC), granular (GAC), pelletized, and extruded forms, with pore structures specifically engineered for different applications ranging from water purification to gas treatment. Its extended surface area and complex pore network (micropores <2nm, mesopores 2-50nm, macropores >50nm) enable superior physical adsorption of contaminants through van der Waals forces, as well as chemical interactions with surface functional groups.
Booster Emulsifier
Booster Emulsifier is a specialized surfactant-based additive formulated to enhance the stability, texture, and uniformity of emulsions in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical formulations. It acts by reducing surface tension between immiscible liquids such as oil and water, facilitating the formation of stable, homogeneous emulsions. Booster Emulsifier is valued for its ability to improve product appearance, extend shelf life, and enhance sensory properties such as mouthfeel and creaminess. It is typically available as a liquid or powder and compatible with a wide range of ingredients.
Calcium Hypochlorite
Calcium Hypochlorite Chlorine is a white to slightly yellow crystalline powder or granules known for its strong oxidizing and disinfectant properties. The 65% grade indicates the available chlorine content, making it a powerful bleaching, sanitizing, and oxidizing agent. It is commonly used for water treatment, sanitation, and as a bleaching agent in industrial and household applications. Calcium Hypochlorite dissolves in water to release hypochlorous acid, which effectively kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
Glutardehyde
Glutardehydeis a potent biocidal agent and chemical sterilant widely used in healthcare, water treatment, and industrial applications. It is a colorless to pale yellow oily liquid with a pungent, sharp odor. Chemically, it is a dialdehyde, primarily valued for its ability to cross-link proteins, making it highly effective as a disinfectant, fixative, and preservative. Typically supplied in concentrations of 25% or 50% aqueous solutions, Glutaraldehyde is used where high-level disinfection is needed—especially against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores. Its versatility also extends to tanning, laboratory science, and wastewater treatment.
Hydrogen Peroxide Food Grade
Hydrogen Peroxide Food Grade is a highly concentrated aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), formulated specifically for use in food processing and related applications. It appears as a clear, colorless liquid with a slightly sharp, acrid odor. Renowned for its powerful oxidizing and bleaching properties, hydrogen peroxide is a strong antimicrobial agent and environmentally friendly disinfectant that decomposes into water and oxygen, leaving no harmful residues. The food-grade designation ensures compliance with strict purity standards, making it suitable for direct and indirect food contact uses, including sterilization, sanitation, and preservation.
Lysol (Cresol BP)
Lysol (Cresol BP) is a concentrated solution of cresol, a phenolic compound derived from coal tar or petroleum. It is a potent disinfectant and antiseptic with strong antimicrobial properties. This product typically contains 50% cresol in water or solvent and is used extensively in industrial, healthcare, agricultural, and household settings for its broad-spectrum efficacy against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic phenolic odor and is highly effective for sterilization, deodorization, and sanitation.
Phenol Ice Crystals
Phenol Ice Crystals, also known as carbolic acid in solid form, are crystalline compounds of phenol with a melting point near room temperature, giving them an “ice-like” appearance. Phenol is a aromatic organic compound widely used as a precursor in chemical synthesis, disinfectants, and pharmaceuticals. It exhibits antiseptic, antiseptic, and solvent properties. Due to its toxicity and corrosiveness, phenol requires careful handling.
