5. More sustainable chemical solutions
• Need
– Reduction of environmental footprint
– Improved performance
• Solutions
– New functionality incorporated into product
– Encapsulation of biocide inside micelles
– Micelles have preference to attach to bacteria
• Benefits
– Better performance / cost
– Lower dosing of biocide
– Less biocides to waste water
Case: Encapsulated, targeted release biocide for paper applications
