Examples of Use


Practical examples for stand-alone applications

Antimicrobial agents for textiles

Conventional antimicrobial agents for textiles include metallic inorganic antimicrobial agents, organosilicone quaternary ammonium salts, and natural antimicrobial agents, but these have not been sufficiently effective against fungi. Moreover, quaternary ammonium salts that are effective against fungi contain halogen counter-ions, which causes the needles of textile knitting machines. 

"OSMORIN DA-50" is an antimicrobial agent that shows sufficient antimicrobial effect against fungi, gram-positive, and gram-negative bacteria, and also has rust-resistant properties, making it ideal for textile applications. 

Wood preservative

Quaternary ammonium salts have traditionally been used for wood preservative applications. However, conventional quaternary ammonium salts contain halogens, which can cause nails and other materials. There is also concern that dioxin may be generated when wood is incinerated. "OSMORIN DA-50" is a halogen-free preservative suitable for wood. 

Practical examples of applications for blending with other drugs

Bactericidal detergent

Disinfectant cleaning agents used in food factories, food service industry, hotel kitchens, hospitals, and public facilities are required to have excellent cleaning and antibacterial power, as well as low metal corrosiveness and environmental friendliness. "OSMORIN DA-50" can be blended with a specific non-ionic surfactant to provide a germicidal cleaning agent suitable for this application. Below is an example of a formulation of a sanitizing detergent that has cleaning power and good foam rinsing. 

 <Example of formulation (active ingredients) 
 1) OSMORIN DA-50: 20% by mass 
 2) NEWPOL PE-61*1 : 5% by mass 
 3) NEWPOL PE-64*2 : 5% by mass 
 4) Water: Remaining amount 
  Total: 100% by mass

*2 Polyoxyethylene (25) polyoxypropylene glycol (30) 

Metal cleaning bath preservative

Metal cleaning bath preservatives are required to have excellent rust inhibiting properties. By combining "OSMORIN DA-50" with a divalent organic acid, we can provide a metal cleaning bath preservative that has both excellent rust inhibiting and corrosion inhibiting properties. 

<Formulation example (active ingredients) 
 (1) OSMORIN DA-50: 40% by mass
 (2) Sebacic acid: 10% by mass
 (3) Monoethanolamine: 7% by mass 
 (4) Water: Remaining amount 
 Total: 100% by mass 

The user is responsible for determining the suitability and safety of the product for each application. 

The following are examples of formulations of sanitizing detergents for use in food processing plants.
