Biocides

Sanidet, disinfectant based on fifth-generation quaternary ammonium salts. Translucent liquid with 10% quaternary active, highly soluble in water. Its germicidal action eliminates bacteria, fungi, and yeasts by damaging the cell wall and inhibiting enzymatic activity and protein synthesis. Maintains its effectiveness in the presence of hard water, acids, and alkalis, making it ideal for areas with high contamination. Properties: pH (1% sol.) 6.0–8.5, medium foam, active content 10%, translucent liquid appearance. Applications: cleaning and disinfection of production equipment, conveyors, packaging areas, storage, and transportation in the food industry (meat, dairy, bakery). Kosher and SAGARPA certified. Usage recommendations: 0.5%–1.0% in aqueous solution. Available in Monterrey, with shipping throughout Mexico.

Bronopol, also known as 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol. Biocide in white crystal form with a minimum active content of 99%. It has excellent antimicrobial properties, making it ideal as a preservative and biocide in industrial applications, especially for controlling bacterial and fungal growth. Soluble in water up to 28% at 25 °C, with a pH in 10% solution ranging from 4.0 to 7.0, providing stability in acidic to slightly alkaline conditions. Applications: preservative in cosmetics, industrial paper slurries, and other aqueous systems, with pre-dilution in water or glycols recommended. Properties: heavy metals content max. 10 ppm. CAS 52-51-7. Available in Monterrey, with shipping throughout Mexico.
