Staining & Discoloration
 


Staining & Discoloration
stains

Staining can lose the original aesthetic property of the product. It is necessary to protect the material against microorganism attack that can cause staining due to intra & extra cellular pigmentation of the microbes.

The introduction of antimicrobial in the polymer matrix is more efficient than surface treatment to inhibit staining.

Two main mechanisms are responsible for staining issues:
     • Intra and extra cellular pigments produced by fungi and bacteria
     • Staining by green chlorophyll from algae and moss

The most suitable technologies available to inhibit staining:

     • IRGAGUARD® F 3000
     • IRGAGUARD® B 1000
