- Meets strict indoor air quality standards, making coatings safer for end-users while aligning with global sustainability regulations.
Microbial Control – Advanced Preservation Solutions
Encapsulated Dry-Film Preservatives
- Long-Lasting Mold, Algae & Fungi Protection: Our Cell Technology ensures timed release of OIT, DCOIT, ZPT, IPBC, BCM, and Diuron, extending protection against microbial degradation.
- Reduced Leaching & VOC Impact: Minimizes environmental release while maintaining high-performance efficacy.
- Ideal for Tropical & High-Humidity Climates: Tailored solutions prevent premature degradation in moisture-prone environments.
In-Can Preservation
- Broad-Spectrum Biocide Protection: Our range of CMIT/MIT, BIT, Bronopol, and DBNPA-based formulations prevents microbial contamination in water-based paints.
- Optimized Dosage for Cost & Performance: Ensures long-term stability without overuse of preservatives, reducing formulation costs.
- Low VOC & Formaldehyde-Free Options: Meeting stringent regulatory requirements for eco-friendly coatings.
