The biocidal legislation of the European Union (Biocidal Products Directive - 98/8/EC - soon to replaced by the Biocidal Products Regulation in late 2013) will in the very near future severely limit the choice of algicides and fungicides which can continue to be used to provide a sustainable and effective solution in preventing the growth of surface moulds, algae and lichens which lead to the disfigurement and eventual failure of coatings. The paper will detail how this very legislation led to the development of Polymer Shielded Technology, a novel concept for the delivery of active ingredients to improve the long-term fungicidal and algicidal performance of coatings.
