OCCA Weekly Webinar - Rethinking Preservation: Safer, Sustainable Alternatives to Traditional Biocides
Venue: Webinar
Date: Wednesday 25th February 2026
Time: 14:30 – 15:30
OCCA Weekly Webinars Series 18 continues with "Rethinking Preservation: Safer, Sustainable Alternatives to Traditional Biocides" presented by Marta Sacristán, PhD of Tolsa. The webinar will take place via Zoom on Wednesday 25 February at 2:30pm.
Abstract:
This webinar will explore the evolving regulatory landscape surrounding traditional biocides such as CIT, MIT, and BIT, and the growing demand for safer, sustainable alternatives in water-based formulations. Participants will gain insights into the toxicological concerns driving regulatory changes and the challenges formulators face in maintaining microbial stability without compromising safety or performance.
The session will introduce ADINS Protection, Tolsa’s innovative inorganic additive, which offers long-term antimicrobial protection without relying on conventional biocides. Through a detailed technical overview, attendees will learn how ADINS Protection works, its encapsulation technology, and its compatibility with various formulations including paints, coatings, inks, and plastics.
Objectives:
- Understand the health and regulatory pressures affecting traditional biocides.
- Discover the science and benefits behind ADINS Protection as a biocide-free alternative.
- Learn how to integrate ADINS Protection into existing production processes.
- Review performance benchmarks and compliance with international standards (ASTM D2574-16, ISO 22196, UNE-EN 15457).
Key Takeaways:
- A clear understanding of the risks associated with traditional preservatives.
- Knowledge of a compliant, effective, and sustainable alternative.
- Practical guidance on formulation and application of ADINS Protection.
- Strategic insights into future-proofing antimicrobial preservation in industrial products.
