Paints & coatings

Dry-film preservation

Dry paint layers, especially exterior coatings and interior paints for wet areas such as bathrooms and kitchens, are sensitive to fungal deterioration or algae that impact aesthetic properties.

Zinc PYRION^™ protects coatings from fungi, bacteria and algae. At the same time, it possesses all other key features of a dry-film preservative including ease of formulation, alkaline stability, thermal stability, low solubility in water and organic solvents, high leaching resistance and ability to deliver long-lasting protection. Zinc PYRION^™ can be used as a standalone product or in combination with other dry-film preservatives for a wider range of protection.
 

In-can preservation

Microorganisms in water-based products, such as paints, can cause bad odours, gassing, discolouration, gelling, liquefaction, emulsion breakdown and pH variation during their storage, transport and distribution before use. This results in quality issues, waste and unnecessary use of additional resources.

Our broad-spectrum solutions, Zinc PYRION^™ (very low water solubility) and Sodium PYRION^™ (fully water soluble), are increasingly being used as major components of biocide blends for in-can preservation.
