With the diminishing list of available preservatives, manufacturers need new candidates with exemplary safe use profiles. Recently, sodium benzoate has become increasingly valued outside of its traditional food and beverage applications, moving into cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, home care, and industrial applications.

Today’s urethane product formulators need to meet a wide range of consumer and regulatory requirements. As premium chemistries, reactive adhesives and sealants must be compliant, have good safety and sustainability profiles, and perform exceptionally.

Emerald Kalama Chemical recently announced that it has completed registration for Kalaguard SB sodium benzoate as a new active ingredient under the Fungicide Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
