ACA Member Webinar: Biocide Preservatives in Coatings — Registration Reviews in U.S. and Canada and implications for the Coatings Industry

This free webinar will address the regulatory framework of biocides used in coatings in the United States and Canada. Biocides, known as pesticides in the United States, are used to preserve coatings from microorganisms and bacteria, while also sometimes used to protect a substrate after application. Regulatory authorities are reevaluating risks associated with biocides in paint, both during paint application and during paint formulation, as part routine registration reviews, while noting concerns that could result in severe restriction of biocides in coatings. The webinar will also cover recent review activity of certain biocides and possible regulatory outcomes from U.S. and Canadian authorities.

The webinar will be led by ACA’s Riaz Zaman, Senior Counsel in Government Affairs and Adrian Krygsman, Director at Troy Corporation— an Arxada company.
