Rohm and Haas's New Microbicide Controls Fouling in Cooling Towers and Reduces Packaging Footprint

Business Wire
With the trend toward concentrated materials to minimize
packaging and shipping costs, Rohm and Haas is introducing KATHON�
CF 400 microbicide, a new concentrated, metal-free formulation for
microbial control. KATHON� CF 400 is targeted toward the water
treatment industry to prevent or remedy fouling in cooling towers
or air washers. Its new concentrated 4% formulation means more than
60% fewer containers to ship, inventory, clean and dispose of,
which will reduce costs. In addition, KATHON� CF 400 is a
copper-free solution to the traditional metal-based formulations on
the market today. KATHON� CF 400 received U.S. EPA registration* in
February 2009.
"Being able to develop, register and offer this kind of
innovation to the market fits with today's requirements for both
our customers and the overall need to be more environmentally
conscious," says David Sutton, Market Manager, Rohm and Haas
Industrial Biocides in North America. "We made sure KATHON� CF 400
was also compatible with our customers' processes, commonly used
polymers and both oxidizing and non-oxidizing biocides, making
KATHON� CF 400 flexible and simple to use."
KATHON� CF 400 offers the same stability and long-lasting
microbial control as Rohm and Haas's KATHON� CF 150 and KATHON� WT
1.5%, which have been trusted standards in the water treatment
industry for more than 30 years.
*US EPA Registration 707-316.
