FUNGITROL~R 940 CONTROLLED RELEASE FUNGICIDE FOR DRY-FILM PROTECTION OF PAINTS AND COATINGS

摘要

ISP announced Fungitrol~R 940 CR fungicide for dry-film protection of paints and coatings. The new offering is designed to deliver a minimum amount of fungicide to the coating interface over an extend period of time.Based on the controlled release of IPBC (active) through microencapsulation into an inorganic carrier, Fungitrol 940CR may be used to resolve tradeoffs in dry-film protection strategies and to enhance the overall performance of fungicide in use. According to Karen Winkowski, Sr. Director of Performance Chemicals and Biocides Applications, with the launch of Fungitrol 940CR, paint makers will have better options to maintain coatings free of microbial defacement without relying on high bio-cide loading levels. "Traditionally, high levels of biocide are added to formulations to ensure a sufficient amount of biocide migrates to the coating surface interface, where they exert their biocidal effect," she said.
