| Résumé : |
In a world of green revolution, only a little is left untouched. Biocide producers along with other parts of the chemical industry all over the world are currently focusing on projects to make their products more environmentally compatible and to promote their benefits and greener practices. Biocides are used in a variety of applications including paints and coatings, stucco/plasters, polymer emulsions, adhesives and sealants, inks, plastics, wood treatment and many more. The biocide producers have to cope with a highly variable demand of the biocidal product consuming industry, the heightened awareness of the danger of germ growth (bacteria, fungi, algae etc), increasing regulatory measures and fluctuating raw material costs. Regulations with regard to the production and application of biocides are affecting the biocide market in several way, as they are often restricting the use of biodical products and increasing the costs of the time-consuming support of biocides under new regulations. As a result, a couple of biocides are being withdrawn from some applications and traditional chemistries are being replaced with new products. While the regulations in Europe, America, Asia and other parts of the world are becoming more stringent, officials agree these changes will benefit the global biocide industry. Meeting the additional regulatory requirements will protect consumers and, in the long term, will benefit all stakeholders, customers and product manufacturers. |
