Long-Term Mold Resistance for Waterborne Industrial Coatings

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%.
