BIOTREND CMT1.5 is a cost-effective, Zero VOC, formaldehyde free preservative with broad spectrum activity for controlling aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and wet-stage fungi; compatible with most surfactants and emulsifiers in formulations. BIOTREND CMT1.5 controls both bacteria (gram-negative and gram-positive) and fungi (molds and yeasts).
BIOTREND® CMT1.5 prevents microbial deterioration of products and resulting consequences such as:
- Phase separation
- Odor build-up
- Gas build-up
- Changes in viscosity
- Product Benefits
- Water-based-Zero VOC
- Low use levels-typically 0.05% - 0.2%
- Free from formaldehyde, formaldehyde releasers, phenolics, heavy metals, and halogens
- Cost effective broad spectrum preservative
- Copper free
- Excellent short to mid term efficacy
- Fast acting broad antimicrobial efficacy against bacteria, yeasts and fungi

- Formulation Applications
- BIOTREND® CMT1.5 is highly suitable for the preservation of a wide variety of aqueous based products due to its fast kill and broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity and good thermal and chemical stability. It shows highest efficacy and stability in a wide pH range of pH 2 – 9.
- Experience shows that compatibility with most products and raw materials is excellent, although compatibility testing is recommended for special formulations.
- Under normal use patterns concentrations of 0.05 – 0.2% are sufficient in most applications. Please refer to the BIOTREND® CMT1.5 Directions For Use label for specific concentrations allowed.
