Laboratory tests can approximate the minimum life of the coatings. Inducoat Fungi and Algae have an effectiveness of 5 years under normal circumstances. Inducoat Bacteria works for at least 3 years.

The coatings are high-quality water-worn styrene acrylic co-polymer with a high solid content. The recommended wet layer thickness is 90 microns. In practice, we recommend a two-stroke finish: a first covering layer and then finishing again with a second layer. Basically as practice is with any good latex.

Inducoat is attached to evidence. Since 2008, a number of pilots have been organised for specific application areas, carried out by independent professionals. The results will be available. These references take away any doubt. And – interestingly – especially the heaviest sceptics cannot get around this.

Nanotechnology promises a lot for the future. But for today, there is still insufficient knowledge about the exact effects of nanotechnology. Inducoat follows the advice of the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) which states that there is still a lot of research to be done before nanotechnology can be used responsibly and provenly.

Inducoat supplies its Bacteria (admission number 13820 N) with a technique that has been assessed by the CTGB.

Inducoat has all the proven, safe, technology in-house. So tailored advice is possible. Our customers choose Slow Release primarily. This technology is based on ‘slow release’ of a specific cocktail of organic and inorganic biocides. This creates a really smart product, in which the functionality of the coating works in a controlled and proven way. An important consideration for them is that the technology also appears stable under heavy cleaning protocols. No responses with e.g. Chloride.

After finishing with Inducoat (like a regular paint) pollution such as mud, fat, blood, must continue to be cleaned.
