ACTICIDE® LV 508 NEW : Industrial Fungicidal Solutions ACTICIDE® LV 508 NEW
is a specialized industrial biocide manufactured by Thor. It is primarily formulated as an aqueous-based fungicide to protect industrial fluids and materials from microbial degradation. Key Composition and Features Active Ingredient: Sodium pyrithione. Formulation: Aqueous-based liquid. Efficacy: Provides broad-spectrum control against fungi.
Compatibility: Designed for use as a primary or secondary preservative and can be combined with other Acticide® biocides for enhanced protection. Primary Applications
This product is extensively used across several industrial sectors to ensure product longevity and hygiene:
Metalworking Fluids: Acts as an effective fungicide for both primary preservation and tankside addition to prevent spoilage.
Paints and Inks: Protects formulations in the wet state from fungal growth, maintaining product stability. acticide lv 508 new
Construction Materials: Used in concrete admixtures and other building materials to prevent the growth of algae and mold, which can degrade structural integrity and appearance.
Adhesives and Sealants: Prevents microbial contamination during manufacturing and storage, preserving the reliability of industrial and packaging adhesives.
Other Sectors: Also applied in textiles, leather processing, and fuel biocides. Safety and Handling
As with many industrial biocides, strict safety protocols are required during handling:
Protective Gear: Users must wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, and protective clothing. ACTICIDE® LV 508 NEW : Industrial Fungicidal Solutions
First Aid: In case of contact with eyes or skin, rinse immediately with plenty of water for 15–20 minutes and seek medical advice.
Environmental Impact: The product is toxic to aquatic life; release into the environment should be strictly avoided.

I’m missing context. I’ll assume you want a concise product feature specification for a new "Acticide LV 508" pesticide/antimicrobial product — if that's wrong, tell me the intended product type.
Specific Benefits of the "New" Variant:
- Improved Compatibility: Reduced interaction with thickeners (e.g., HASE and HEUR) that previously caused gelation.
- Lower Use Rate: Typically effective at 0.05%–0.15% (w/w) vs. 0.15%–0.3% for older biocides.
- Green Chemistry Compliance: Meets EU Ecolabel, Blue Angel, and Nordic Swan criteria for preservatives in paints.
Compatibility and Incompatibility
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: Can Acticide LV 508 New be used in food-contact applications? A: No. It is strictly for industrial use only. For indirect food contact (e.g., adhesives on food packaging), consult regulatory limits—typically <0.01% residual active in final dried film.
Q2: Does it affect product color or odor? A: At recommended dosages, it is colorless to pale yellow and has a faint, characteristic isothiazolinone odor that dissipates within 24 hours. No effect on paint whiteness or adhesive clarity.
Q3: How does it perform in high-salt environments (e.g., 5% NaCl)? A: Excellent. The presence of electrolytes does not destabilize the formulation. In fact, salt may slightly enhance the activity against Gram-negative bacteria.
Q4: Can I combine it with a dry-film preservative? A: Yes, and it is recommended. Use Acticide LV 508 New for in-can preservation and a fungicide (e.g., IPBC, zinc pyrithione, or carbendazim) for dry-film protection of exterior coatings.
Q5: Is there a sample testing protocol? A: Yes. Request a 1 kg sample from your Thor Group distributor and conduct a 4-Week Challenge Test (inoculate with 10^6 CFU/mL mixed bacteria and 10^5 CFU/mL mixed fungi). Compare with your current preservative.
