Smart release of biocides in finishing materials for the sector of construction (Axioma)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2013,
Bioresistancy of building and finishing materials usually requires addition of dedicated bioactive chemicals, so-called biocides. The usual increase in biocide concentration only results in a minor prolongation of the material service-life. For example, coatings usually exhibit biocidal functionality between 0.5 and 2 years – depending on environmental loads –, whereas the desired service life in ...
