In hospitals and laboratories, it is a biocide; it is especially important in bulk reagents and stock solutions which may otherwise support lactobacilli ) are intrinsically resistant.

Some examples are in papermaking as a preservative in paper coating and slime control on papermachines, and as a biocide in hydraulic fracturing wells and in cooling water.
33.
Non-stick coatings contain no biocide, but have extremely slippery surfaces which prevents most fouling and makes it easier to clean the little fouling that does occur.
34.
A pH buffer, crystal habit modifier, metal dopants, ripener, ripening restrainer, surfactants, defoamer, emulsion stabilizer and biocide are also used in emulsion making.
35.
In a non-medical use, DMF was applied as a biocide in furniture or shoes to prevent growths of mold during storage or transport in a humid climate.
36.
A glutaraldehyde solution of 0.1 % to 1.0 % concentration may be used as a biocide for system disinfection and as a preservative for long term storage.
37.
Most commonly inhibitors will be added to protect the pipework and components against corrosion, or a biocide will be added to stop the growth of bacteria in lower temperature systems.
38.
For 40 years TBT was used as a biocide in anti-fouling paint, commonly known as bottom paint, which was applied to the hulls of ocean going vessles.
39.
Up until the 90ies chlorpyrifos was used as an agent with longterm effect, but the EC biocide declaration " 98 / 8 " prohibited the use from August 2008 onward.
40.
In addition, the cellular fatty acid profiles showed that the development of these species was likely linked to the presence of unusual carbon and nitrogen organic sources provided by the intensive biocide application.
