MERGAL LA is a broad-spectrum wet-state preservative used to avoid deterioration and degradation of aqueous systems caused by bacteria, fungi and yeast. It is suitable for systems with a pH of 3 - 9 and at a temperature up to 50 °C. MERGAL LA provides protection against microbial growth in waterborne formulations. It is free of CMR substances and bivalent salts, containing only monovalent inorganic stabilizers. MERGAL LA is cost effective and helps extend the shelf life of products. It is an ideal preservative for applications where long term stability and protection from microbial degradation is required.
