Keynote: Joint efforts to manage the challenges of BPR for plant hygiene and product preservation

 
Protecting manufacturing facilities and products from microbial contamination, while complying with EU BPR 528/2012 poses significant challenges for the entire industry. Remmers and Lanxess explain how these challenges can be addressed by a close cooperation between manufacturers and suppliers to the paints and coatings industry. A holistic approach must be comprised of rapid analytical methods, highest levels of hygiene across the entire supply chain as well as a measaured and targeted use of biocides.
