Worlée now offers a methylisothiazolinone-free version of its PU modified alkyd emulsion WorléeSol E 150 W. The company reacted to the increased demand for alternative preservations. The background is the draft of an EU regulation according to which paints containing MIT as a preservative in amounts exceeding 15 ppm need to be labeled with H317, in concentrations between 0.15 ppm and 15 ppm with EUH208. 

Methylisothiazolinone is a preservative used not only within the coating industry but also in the cosmetics industry and is known as a contact sensitizer due to its allergenic and cytotoxic potential.

WorléeSol E 150 W is used in many different decorative areas such as in wood protection primers or stains. The product is also suitable for industrial applications, for example, anti-corrosion primers.
