Propargyl butylcarbamate
Description
Propargyl butylcarbamate (CAS 76114-73-3), also known as N-Butyl propargyl carbamate, is a broad-spectrum biocide used to protect industrial materials from microbial degradation.
It delivers fungicidal and bactericidal activity across a range of wet and dry formulation types, making it a reliable preservation option for demanding industrial applications.
In coatings and adhesives, it is incorporated to prevent mold, mildew, and bacterial growth during storage and on dried film surfaces. This ensures long-term stability and performance.
Textile and leather processors use it in finishing treatments to protect goods from fungal attack during transit and warehousing. It is essential for maintaining the integrity of these materials.
Water treatment formulations rely on it as an active biocide to control microbial fouling in industrial process water and cooling systems. This helps maintain efficiency in large-scale operations.
In agrochemical products, it functions as a preservative component in formulated crop protection products where microbial contamination of the formulation itself must be controlled.
Propargyl butylcarbamate is typically supplied as a liquid, often in solvent-based solutions at defined active concentrations suited to direct blending into end formulations.
Technical grade is the standard commercial offering for industrial preservation applications. Buyers should confirm active content percentage and solvent carrier with suppliers.
