Growth of organisms such as bacteria, mold, mildew or algae can cause defacement and degradation of building materials like Tape Joint Compounds (TJC), spackle, concrete admixtures.
Microbial contamination can also affect the integrity, performance and durability of structural components of the building, such as wallboard and non-woven specialty mats/veils. Mold and mildew growth in these surfaces can contribute to potential health risks for humans in close contact.
Bacterial and fungal growth can also lead to spoilage during manufacturing process. The right microbial control solution is critical for rapid decontamination, maintenance of plant hygiene and prevention of further contamination spread. We offer not only the right products but also recommendations on good practices based on decades of expertise solving microbial problems.
Our microbial control portfolio offers a wide range of solutions to help you achieve your goals, including formaldehyde replacement, low-VOC formulations, high temperature resistance and low-leaching formulations.
