Inclusion of IPBC as an active substance in the BPD

Troy Corporation was notified of the Annex 1 listing of 3-Iodo-2-propynyl butylcarbamate (IPBC), as published on 29 July 2008 in the Official Journal of the European Union. Troy Corporation led the effort of a group of companies to supply a complete dossier to the European Union (EU) authorities to fulfill the requirements of the Biocidal Products Directive (BPD). This dossier contained more than 20 binders full of toxicology, environmental, risk assessment, efficacy data and technical and safety information for one of the world’s key biocidal actives.
Troy’s biocides are being incorporated among others as antimicrobials into interior and exterior coatings.
