Dry Film Preservatives

Dry paint films are vulnerable to a variety of microorganisms that provide a basis for algae, fungal, moss, or lichen growth and cause severe problems, such as discoloration and physical degradation.

Physical deterioration leads to an increase in porosity of the surface coating, loss of adhesion to the substrate, and moisture penetration, which results in the decay of the underlying substrate.

Algae are one of the two main organisms encountered on exterior coatings that actually disfigure the dry paint film. Unfortunately, they are sometimes confused with fungi, especially if they are brown or orange instead of green, which is more common.

A dry film preservative is a substance that is added to paints / coatings to prevent decomposition and disfiguration of dry films of paints due to microbial attack and growth on painted surfaces.
