Strengthening position as reliable biocides manufacturer
By reaching this milestone, Vink Chemicals strengthens its position as a reliable manufacturer of biocides and as a solutions provider that supports its customers with both active substances and formulated solutions.
BBIT is now the seventh active substance for which Vink Chemicals is listed under Article 95 of the EU Biocidal Products Regulation. The manufacturer sees this as confirmation and recognition of its long-term strategy to commit to regulatory compliance, ensure security of supply for its customers and continuously expand its portfolio.
Ingo Krull, technical sales manager TB Europe at Vink Chemicals, commented, “With Vinkocide® BBIT 97, Vink Chemicals completes its active ingredient portfolio for water-miscible cooling lubricants. Vinkocide® BBIT 97 was the final missing piece in our product portfolio. We now offer not only the active ingredient BBIT, but also Vinkocide® BB WM, a water-soluble formulation that enables the use of BBIT in all aqueous metalworking fluids.”
