Acticide Lv 508 New
Problem: A midsize paint producer experienced recurrent in-can spoilage (gas formation, pH drop from 8.5 to 6.0) within 4 weeks of storage, despite using 0.15% of a standard OIT/MIT blend. Solution: Switched to Acticide LV 508 New at 0.20%. Result: After 6 months of accelerated aging (50°C storage), no microbial growth was detected. The preserved paint passed the 28-day challenge test against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Aspergillus niger.

The efficacy of Acticide LV 508 New lies in its synergistic blend. While the exact composition is proprietary, it belongs to the family of Isothiazolinone-based biocides. Typically, it combines: acticide lv 508 new
The "New" designation indicates a refined ratio that reduces skin sensitization potential compared to older CMIT/MIT blends while improving performance in high-pH environments (up to pH 12).
Acticide LV 508 New is a next-generation, broad-spectrum, liquid preservative biocide developed specifically for the protection of aqueous industrial products against microbial spoilage. The "LV" designation stands for "Low Viscosity," while "508 New" signifies an updated, enhanced formulation that supersedes previous iterations. The " New " designation indicates a refined
Unlike traditional preservatives that may target only bacteria or only fungi, Acticide LV 508 New is a synergistic blend of isothiazolinone-based active ingredients, optimized for rapid kill rates and long-term residual protection. It is manufactured by Thor Group Limited, a global leader in specialty chemicals for microbial control.
Acticide LV 508 is typically an in-can preservative used to prevent microbial growth in liquid products. such as gloves and eye protection
Problem: The company’s semi-synthetic MWF concentrate had a short in-use sump life of only 3 weeks, with frequent foul odors and operator complaints of skin irritation. Solution: Reformulated with Acticide LV 508 New at 0.30% in the concentrate. Result: Sump life extended to 12 weeks. Bacterial counts dropped from 10^7 CFU/mL to <10^3 CFU/mL within 48 hours of dosing. Dermatitis complaints reduced by 70% due to lower endotoxin levels.
As with all industrial biocides, Acticide LV 508 contains active substances that require careful handling. It is essential to consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provided by the supplier before use. Appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as gloves and eye protection, should always be worn during handling and dosing.
Users should also be aware of specific regional biocidal regulations (such as the BPR in Europe or EPA regulations in the US) to ensure the product is approved for their specific application type.
