AB  - Biocides usage covers a vast industrial area and the history of biocide and other antimicrobial agent usage in various forms and applications dates back centuries. While the emerging EU regulations (BPD, REACH and others) strive to increase the safety and the eco-efficiency of chemical products and production processes, such changes may also create voids in the availability of current biocides due to outphasing. The present study evaluated the need for new Active Ingredient (AI) development. The feasibility of such development was explored, and the data of economic feasibility analysis shows that, contrary to general expectations, AI development can become profitable within certain economic boundaries.
