Masterbatch Anti algae and moss

Anti-algae and moss masterbatch is a specialized masterbatch that contains antimicrobial and antifungal active ingredients and is used to add to various types of polymers, especially polymers used in humid and outdoor environments. These masterbatches prevent the formation of biological contaminants on surfaces by creating a resistant barrier against the growth of algae, moss and fungi.

Why do we need anti-algae and moss masterbatch?

The growth of algae and moss on various surfaces, including building facades, roofs, fences and outdoor plastic products, can cause several problems. These problems include:

Surface degradation: Algae and moss release acids, which cause surface degradation and reduce the useful life of the material.
Decrease in appearance: The growth of these organisms causes stains and discoloration of surfaces, making them look ugly.
Creating an environment for the growth of other microorganisms: Surfaces contaminated with algae and moss can act as a suitable environment for the growth of bacteria and other pathogenic microorganisms.

Mechanism of action of anti-algae and moss masterbatch

The active ingredients in anti-algae and moss masterbatch prevent the formation and spread of algae and moss by creating an unsuitable environment for their growth. These ingredients can act in various ways, including:

Destruction of the cell wall: Some active ingredients destroy algae and moss by destroying their cell walls.
Interference with metabolic processes: Some other active ingredients prevent their growth by interfering with the metabolic processes of these organisms.
Creation of a protective layer: Some active ingredients prevent the adhesion of spores and the growth of algae and moss by creating a protective layer on the surface.

Benefits of using anti-algae and moss masterbatch

Increasing the lifespan of products: Protecting surfaces from damage caused by algae and moss growth
Improving the appearance of products: Maintaining the beauty and visual appeal of products
Reducing maintenance costs: Reducing the need to clean and repair contaminated surfaces
Creating a healthier environment: Reducing the risk of bacteria and other pathogenic microorganisms growing

Applications of anti-algae and moss masterbatch

Construction industry: Production of building facades, roofs, fences and other exterior building products with anti-algae and moss properties
Plastics industry: Production of exterior plastic products such as garden furniture, plastic containers and floor coverings
Paint and resin industry: Production of anti-algae and moss paints and resins for coating various surfaces
