Preservatives are antimicrobial biocides that kill microorganisms or prevent their spread. They are used in many areas, such as food production and the production of cosmetics. Here they increase the shelf life of the products. In paints, the preservatives have the task of warding off pests during a coat of paint and preventing mold from forming on the walls. Many years ago, solvents were still added to wall paints. With the solvents, the paints did not need any additional preservatives. Today, emulsion paints are no longer solvent-based, but water-based, which is why interior paint can quickly become a breeding ground for bacteria and mold. This is why biocides such as isothiazolinones are used. However, the ingredients cause an allergic reaction, especially in sensitive people and allergy sufferers, which is why the preservatives must be declared on the containers.
