Résumé : |
Of the three main groups of microorganisms that can infect paints, plasters and similar surface coatings it is fungi and algae that are especially problematic after the material has been applied. Fungi, primarily moulds, cause surface disfigurement and actual degradation, whilst algae also detract from the product's aesthetic qualities as well as retaining high levels of moisture with resultant concomitant damage. Exterior surfaces can become infected with both types of organisms and broad-spectrum antifungal/antialgal biocides have been developed to prevent such growths. However, changing legislation relating to the labelling of such biocides, pressure from environmental and consumer groups and revised regulations concerning insulation of buildings have placed greater and greater demands on biocides and have created a need for new products with novel properties. Although such demands represent a significant challenge to the biocide manufacturer it has been possible to meet these requirements. |
