What is Oamiguard Z10 Dry-film Mildewcide?
Oamiguard Z10 is a highly effective, broad-spectrum mildewcide, algicide and antibacterial agent used to protect water-based coating films in hot and humid tropical climates. The product is an aqueous dispersion of zinc pyrithione compounded with other additives, and is particularly effective for dry-film mildew and algae protection. It can be added during the grinding and dispersing stages of coating production.
Applications
- Architectural and industrial paints and coatings
- Building materials (flooring adhesives, caulks, sealants, grouts and joint compounds)
- Building materials (ceilings, ceiling tiles, walls and interior partitions)
Advantages
- Broad-spectrum mildew, algae and antibacterial protection; particularly effective for dry-film mildew and algae control
- Can be added during the grinding and dispersing stages of coating production
- Non-specific mode of action, extremely unlikely to induce bacterial resistance
