Paints & Coatings Biocides
With the goal in mind of “Safe Preservative for Sure Protection”, GALAXY INTERNATIONAL (FZC) introduces a complete range of Paint / Coating Preservatives under the brand GALTEK to protect products from microbial contamination during manufacturing, storage, transport, and post-application.
Since microorganisms occur everywhere, their destructive activity is unavoidable. In water-based coating systems, microbial growth causes gassing, discoloration, viscosity change, emulsion breakdown, and odor. Post-application, dry films are attacked by fungi and algae, causing discoloration and loss of aesthetic and protective value.
GALTEK preservatives (in-can and dry film) are tailored for your product to prevent these effects.
GALTEK – Dry Film Preservatives:
A dry film preservative prevents microbial decomposition of dry paint films.
