Lanxess introduces longer-lasting formulation method for algicides in paints

摘要

Lanxess says it has started using a new formulation method for algicides in paints that can reduce by 50% active ingredient leaching from paints caused by rain when compared to conventional algicides. In many European countries, architects and construction companies are legally obligated to deliver defect-free buildings, says Lanxess, which can make biocides indispensable as a means of significandy extending the lifespan of facade coatings. However, their effectiveness slowly decreases over time.
