AMAVAL® RANGE

by Áron Horváth, 21.09.2026

The paint and coatings industry faces one of its greatest challenges today: increasingly stringent European Union regulations (BPR, CLP) drastically limit the permissible concentration and use of traditional preservatives. Manufacturers must guarantee product shelf-life and microbiological protection while using biocides at ever-lower concentrations to achieve non-hazardous labeling.

As an official distributor of THOR, we offer a breakthrough solution to this complex challenge with THOR AMAVAL® products.

How Does AMAVAL® Work in Paint Industry Applications?

Due to regulatory restrictions, traditional biocides alone often fail to provide sufficient protection against bacteria and fungi at lower allowed dosages. AMAVAL® does not replace existing preservatives; instead, it acts as a biocide booster, synergistically enhancing their effectiveness.

• Pictogram-Free Formulation: By using the AMAVAL® booster, preservative concentrations can be kept below regulatory hazard-labeling thresholds, enabling the production of pictogram-free finished products.
• Formaldehyde-Free Technology: Formulations containing formaldehyde-donors can be completely replaced, ensuring paints comply with the strictest environmental and health standards (e.g., low VOC emissions, high indoor air quality).
• Maximum Efficacy at Low Dosages: Thanks to its synergistic effect, long-term in-can microbiological stability is guaranteed even with minimized biocide concentrations.

A Technological Advantage for Your Products

Both consumers and regulators are demanding safer, more environmentally friendly construction chemicals. By incorporating AMAVAL®, you are not only ensuring regulatory compliance but also launch premium, pictogram-free, and formaldehyde-free products that deliver a distinct competitive edge.
