International. A new technology has been developed in the use of water-based outdoor paints, it is a fungicide and algaecide that can be used as a diuron-free alternative in this class of coatings.
For manufacturers wishing to formulate an alternative to the active Diuron algaecide used in many preservatives, one company developed a diuron-free broad-spectrum fungicide and algaecide.
According to its developers, this technology from Troy Corporation, offers lasting protection in coatings, after observing exposure tests in climates prone to severe fungi and algae growth. The additive is a low leaching product formulated for water-based paints, exterior coatings, and stucco systems. It is a VOC and a formaldehyde-free preservative with a low risk profile, making it useful for today's "green" systems.
