Biocides are chemical substances obtained by mixing one or more active substances that control or kill microorganisms containing fungi, bacteria, algae, yeast or mold.

Biocides are widely used. For example, it is used in cosmetics, detergents, paints, pharmaceuticals, paper, plastics and textiles.

Biocides guarantee the active performance of chemical products and production processes, reduce maintenance and repair costs of products, prevent corrosion of devices used in production and protect human and animal health against microorganisms. Biocides with such a wide range of uses are mainly used to prevent algae, bacteria, yeast and fungi and their pollution. In all these sectors, biocides are referred to as disinfectants.

In general, fungi, algae, mold and bacteria spores are found in the air. When they find oxygen, sunlight and alkaline environment, they develop in water and form a mass and cause blockages and corrosion under the surfaces they cover. This biological formation is also harmful to the environment and human health by changing the formation and causing various diseases.

For this reason, there is a struggle against the organisms that are likely to be present in the water used in the textile sector. The contents of these biocides, which are generally used as disinfectants, are important for textile manufacturers in terms of quality and quality of textile products.

The laboratories that will carry out test and analysis studies should be accredited from national or international accreditation organizations in order to show their reliability and impartiality. In addition, laboratories are required to operate in accordance with test criteria, methods and standards published by local and foreign organizations during the studies.

In addition, these laboratories should have a strong technological infrastructure and an experienced and trained staff.
