- Key Features
- Effective fungicide/algaecide for a wide range of industrial applications.
- Aqueous based, readily flowable water dispersion, VOC free.
- Broad spectrum of activity against a wide range, fungi and algae.
- Free from formaldehyde, formaldehyde releasers, phenolics, heavy metals.
- Easy to incorporate into products including paints, coatings, sealants and adhesives.
- Low leaching rates
- Cost effective as a dry film biocide.
- Microbial Deterioration
PROMEX™ TCO prevents or minimizes microbial deterioration of products and resulting consequences such as:
- Mold growth
- Unsightly surface discolouration
- Algal growth
- Surface staining
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Adhesive & Sealant Type
- Coating Type
- Applications
PROMEX™ TCO is suitable for the preservation of a wide variety of industrial coating products and adhesives and sealants where dry state protection is required.
It shows highest efficacy and stability in a wide pH range of pH 4 - 11. Use levels of PROMEX™ TCO normally range from 0.5 - 2% based on total weight of finished product.
Experience shows that compatibility with most products and raw materials is excellent, although compatibility testing and determination of most effective use concentrations is recommended.
Application areas:- Exterior architectural paints and coatings
- Adhesives
- Roofing materials
- Sealants and caulks
- Grouting compounds
