Paints and coatings (latex paints) are made of pigments, fillers, color pastes, emulsions and resins, thickeners, dispersants, defoamers, leveling agents, and film-forming agents, etc. Since all ingredients contain water and nutrients, they are vulnerable to bacteria, which can cause harmful changes in physical and chemical aspects, such as viscosity reduction, changes, gas generation, and demulsification. Therefore, it is necessary to protect paints and coatings from microbes to minimize the loss caused by microbial infections and to ensure the quality of latex paint products. For most paints and coatings, the application of preservatives is a wise anti-corrosion treatment. Therefore appropriate preservatives can protect paints and coatings from bacteria and ensure their quality at least during the warranty period.
