Why Inducoat only makes claims about the dry paint film

Inducoat deliberately opts for careful and legally correct positioning. Inducoat does not claim an active effect against mould; the claim concerns the resistance of the dry paint film, not the space, the substrate or the user. Without broad claims and without an authorisation number.

Focus on the dry paint film

Inducoat does not position itself as a biocidal product with a primary active effect against mould, but as a paint solution centred on the property of the dry paint film. This approach aligns with the applicable regulations on treated articles: products to which an active substance has been added to protect the material itself — in this case, the paint film.

Why there is no authorisation number

An authorisation number applies to biocidal products that have been authorised as such. Inducoat expressly chooses not to pursue that type of claim and therefore does not use an authorisation number. Instead, it deliberately opts for a technical and restrained narrative, without broad claims about an active effect against mould or effects in the space. This keeps the communication clear, careful and in line with laws and regulations.

The key point

  • The coating claim does not concern an active effect against mould.
  • Inducoat focuses exclusively on the resistance of the dry paint film.
  • This positioning fits within a careful, legally correct market approach — without an authorisation number.
