Waterborne industrial coatings for port machinery often develop mold in humid environments. A manufacturer reported >30% mildew coverage on cabin interiors after 3 months in tropical zones.
Chemi Tech KM-B08 mildewicide innovations:
Controlled release:
Layered silicate carriers release actives at >80% humidity;
95% retention after ISO 11998 washout.
Surface enrichment:
Modified siloxanes concentrate actives at film-air interface.
Case: Container Corrugated Panel Upgrade
A factory eliminated mildew on epoxy coatings with KM-B08:
Formula: 1.2% dosage co-ground with dispersants;
Performance:
Zero mold after 18 months at 40℃/95% RH;
<5% mold spread on scratches post-salt spray (vs. >60% previously);
Water absorption reduced to 0.8%.
Now applied to port cranes and rail containers, cutting maintenance by 50%.
