Microbial nemesis - fungicides
Microbial nemesis - fungicides
There are more than 80,000 kinds of pathogenic microorganisms harmful to plants in the world. Plant diseases have caused huge losses to agriculture, and the average annual output of crops in the world has been reduced by about 500Mt. In history, there have been many disasters in which severe famines and even large numbers of people starved to death due to the prevalence of certain plant diseases. The use of fungicides is a cost-effective method of controlling plant diseases.
Bactericides, also known as biocides, bactericides and algicides, microbicides, etc., usually refer to chemical agents that can effectively control or kill microorganisms in water systems - bacteria, fungi and algae. Mainly divided into two kinds of agricultural fungicides and industrial fungicides.
Agricultural fungicides
It is a class of pesticides used to prevent and control plant diseases caused by various pathogenic microorganisms, generally referring to fungicides. However, internationally, it is usually used as a general term for agents to prevent and control various pathogenic microorganisms. With the development of bactericides, bactericides, viricides, and algicides are distinguished.
Industrial fungicide
Industrial fungicides refer to chemical agents used in the industrial field to kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms. With the continuous advancement of science and technology, the impact of microorganisms on industrial production has gradually been valued by humans, and the demand for industrial fungicides has continued to grow with the expansion of industrial scale. At present, industrial fungicides are widely used in water treatment, crude oil extraction, papermaking, coatings, daily chemical products and other fields, and the market scale is gradually expanding.
As my country's industrialization process continues to accelerate, my country's industrial water consumption is increasing day by day. In order to save water resources, the construction and operation of circulating cooling water systems in the industrial field continue to increase, and the demand for industrial fungicides continues to rise. Therefore, the field of industrial water treatment is my country's The largest downstream application market for industrial fungicides.
In industrial production, there are various measures to prevent and control microbial hazards. Among all the control measures, the application of fungicides is undoubtedly a method with high efficacy, quick effect, easy operation and low cost. This is because when actually used:
① The selected fungicides must be those species with strong pertinence and high toxicity to the target microorganisms, so that the drug efficacy can be fully guaranteed;
②Fungicides and bacteria can poison target microorganisms at a fast speed through direct contact;
③Fungicides in various dosage forms are easily dispersed into various materials including gaseous, liquid or solid, so that the relevant environment, materials or products can be effectively protected;
④ Compared with other microbial control methods such as freezing, high temperature, high pressure, drying, deoxygenation, radiation, and filtration, the method of using fungicides does not require the investment of special equipment, saves energy, electricity, time and labor, and has obvious economic benefits. .
It is generally believed that the purpose of using industrial fungicides is to maintain product quality, and its essence is to extend the shelf life and service life of industrial materials and their products. Traditional preservatives, antifungal agents, preservatives and water treatment agents are precisely for this purpose. This purpose came into being. Industrial disinfectants make the production environment meet certain hygienic requirements by treating the air, equipment, utensils, and packaging. In the final analysis, it is also to ensure the quality of the products produced during the shelf life and use period.
It can be seen that the application of fungicides in the industrial field has an important role that cannot be underestimated in creating a suitable production environment, protecting and utilizing resources, ensuring product quality, and even technology development and market expansion.
Through continuous experimentation and exploration, our company continues to make breakthroughs in the research and development and use of fungicides. The main industrial fungicides produced by our company include isothiazolinone, benzisothiazolinone, and methylisothiazolinone. Bronopol, dibromocyanoacetamide, s-triazine, polyhexamethylene biguanide hydrochloride, chlorhexidine acetate/glucose, copper pyrithione, sodium pyrithione, zinc pyrithione, etc. It has solved many problems of "sterilizing and removing algae" for many enterprises.
