is not cleared by Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act
for use in manufactured food grade adhesive, paper and
paper board products and paper coating.
DRY FILM
PAINT PRESERVATIVE
PROTRAM™ 98 inhibits the growth of mildew in solvent-based
paints and waterborne paints, stains and latex emulsions.
For best results, it should be solubilized in a suitable
solvent prior to adding to the paint. Addition should
be at the end of the manufacturing process and allowed
to mix long enough to be adequately dispersed. Typical
levels for protection against mildew on painted surfaces
are 0.1 - 0.5% by weight in wet paint. For example,
house paint with a wet density of 10 lbs. per gallon
would use 1 - 5 lbs. of this product per 100 gallons
of wet paint. Where the climate is severe and mildew
growth is a major problem for painted surfaces, more
would be required, as much as 0.8% by weight in the
paint.
AQUEOUS METALWORKING, CUTTING, COOLING,
& LUBRICATING CONCENTRATES
To inhibit the growth of fungi in an aqueous metalworking,
cutting, cooling & lubricating concentrates add
an amount that will give up to 1,000 ppm in the diluted
fluid. The amount required in the concentrate will depend
on the end use dilution. For example, if the desired
level of this product in the diluted fluid is 100 ppm,
and the end use dilution of the fluid is 5%, then a
0.2% concentration of this product is required in the
concentrate (100 ppm/ 0.05 = 2,000 ppm or 0.2%).
AQUEOUS METALWORKING, CUTTING, COOLING,
& LUBRICATING FLUIDS
To inhibit the growth of fungi in an aqueous metalworking,
cutting, cooling & lubricating fluids add up to
1,000 parts per million (0.1% w/w) of this product to
the diluted fluid (1.0 lbs. per 1000 lbs. of solution
or approximately 0.8 lbs. per 100 gallon of solution
or 1.0 kg per 1000 kg). This product may be added to
the fluid at the time it is prepared (diluted) or to
the reservoir (sump) containing the fluid after it is
put into use. If it is added to the reservoir, the fluid
should be circulated after addition to ensure mixing.
FUNGICIDE IN NON-MEDICAL, NON-FOOD
CONTACT AQUEOUS, SOLVENT AND NON-SOLVENT BASED SYSTEMS
SUCH AS NATURAL AND SYNTHETIC ADHESIVES, CAULKS, PATCHING
COMPOUNDS, SEALANTS, GROUTS, LATEXES SUCH AS SBR/LATEX
USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF FLOORING ADHESIVES OR CARPET
BACKINGS. PROTRAM™ 98 can be used as an additive
to non-medical, non-food use natural and synthetic adhesives,
caulks, patching compounds, sealants, grouts, latexes
such as SBR/latex flooring adhesives or carpet backings
to prevent the growth of fungi,
molds and mildews in the material both in the wet state
and in the dry film of the finished product. Recommended
use levels are between 0.02 - 0.25% wet formulation
weight. PROTRAM™ 98 should be added toward the
end of production cycle with good agitation to ensure
a uniform distribution. For example, to inhibit the
growth of mildew on a latex-based wall cover adhesive
for a non-food area add 0.2% (2 lbs. of PROTRAM™
98 per 1000 lbs. of latex-based adhesive formulation)
of this product to the latex-based formulation.
PLASTICS
AND PLASTIC COATINGS
PROTRAM™ 98 may be used to prevent surface mildew
growth on plastic items such as shower curtains, cable
and wire insulation, sun umbrellas, polymer furniture,
filter medias, polymer components of carpet, etc. Intended
plastics include polymers such as PVC, polyurethanes,
elastomers and rubbers, neoprene, styrene compounds,
polyolefins, etc. Use levels of 0.05- 1.0% by weight
of the plastic are generally adequate. This product
should be dispersed in the plasticizer or color concentrate
before it is incorporated into the resin to ensure a
uniform distribution. Use of this product is not recommended
if the heat of processing is above 350 oF for prolonged
periods, nor should it be used in a plastic that will
be in contact with food or medical device applications.
For example, to inhibit growth of mildew on a plastic
such as polyurethane boat seat cushions intended for
a non-food area add 0.5% (5 lbs. PROTRAM™ 98 per
1000 lbs. of polyurethane formulation) of this product
to the
polyurethane formulation.
PAPER COATINGS
PROTRAM™ 98 may be used as a mildewcide in both
aqueous and solvent-based coatings, which are applied
to paper and cardboard substrates. This product can
be used to prevent mold and mildew from growing on products
such as: corrugated cardboard or soap wrappers, wall
covers, non-food contact packaging materials, and non-food
contact paper tapes. Use levels of this product range
from 0.02 - 0.75% of this product by weight. This product
should be added at the end of the production cycle and
with good agitation to prevent possible mechanical losses
and to ensure uniform distribution. For example, to
inhibit growth of mildew on corrugated cardboard intended
for a non-food packaging add 0.5% (5 lbs. PROTRAM™
98 per 1000 lbs. of
coating material) of this product to the coating material
formulation.
CORDAGE
PROTRAM™ 98 may be used as a mildewcide in both
aqueous and solvent based process formulations, which
coat cordage. Typical use levels of this product will
range from 0.02 - 1% of the process formulations used
in the process of these cordages. This product should
be added at the end of the production cycle to the process
formulation with good agitation to prevent possible
mechanical losses and to ensure a uniform distribution.
For example, to inhibit the growth of mildew on cordage
intended for a non-food area add 0.5% (5 lbs. PROTRAM™
98 per 1000 lbs. of process formulation) of this product
to the process formulation.
INKS
PROTRAM™ 98 may be used in aqueous-based ink solutions
for protection of these solutions against attack of
fungal organisms. It is recommended that this product
be added at the end of the product cycle with good agitation.
This product will generally impart protection when used
at levels of 0.05 - 3.0% based on the formula weight.
WOOD PRESERVATION
PROTRAM™ 98 is a white powder, non-metallic compound
designed for use as a wood preservative for use in above
ground applications. All recommendations of use levels
are in percentage by weight, and refer to this product.
Dosage ranges are given for the various applications
to indicate the approximate levels for a particular
application. Exact level of use within these ranges
should be determined by field trials.
For best results this product should
be solubilized in a suitable solvent or made into an
aqueous dispersion and then applied to new lumber, plywood,
particle board, millwork, etc., to prevent the growth
of mildew, sapstain and wood rot on these substrates.
This product is recommended for use on wood in above
ground use only.
Treating solutions may be prepared
by dissolving this product in alcohols or aromatic solvents
or by dispersion in water. Levels of 0.10 - 1.5% of
this product are suggested depending upon the severity
of conditions for end use, and the extent of time that
protection is required.
For freshly sawn lumber, a concentration
of 0.20% of this product is suggested as a starting
level. A one minute dip at ambient temperatures in a
solution or aqueous dispersion containing 0.2% of this
product should be adequate to control the development
of mildew and sapstain organisms on the lumber. Because
of the great variation in susceptibility of fresh sawn
lumber relating to the type of wood, sawing and storage
techniques, conditions of humidity, method of treatment,
etc., it is usually necessary to carry out field tests
to determine the most appropriate means of application
and the optimum concentration of this product to be
used.
For best results, lumber should
be treated within twenty-four hours after it is sawed.
The lumber should be completely immersed in the treating
bath, and the treating vat designed to permit easy immersion
and removal, and to minimize spillage. The vat may be
cleaned by emptying and rinsing with a suitable solvent
or by use of a detergent solution. To add additional
product while treating, first prepare the proper solution
or emulsion in a separate container (of wood, plastic,
or stainless steel construction) and add to the treating
vessel.
After treatment, lumber should be
stacked in a properly maintained seasoning yard with
good drainage so that no water will accumulate, in any
area. The yard should be kept free from weeds and vegetation,
which may hold moisture and promote growth of decay
and stain producing fungi. All debris and lumber scraps
should be removed from the area. A properly laid out
yard should take advantage of prevailing winds to permit
good air circulation. Main alleys should be at least
16 feet wide. Stack foundations should be sufficiently
elevated to permit ready access of air to the pile,
and allow water to drain off quickly.
