UGL and ISP Team up to introduce green masonry waterproofer
United Gilsonite Laboratories (UGL) and International Specialty Products Inc. (ISP) have announced the introduction of a new masonry waterproofer from UGL that incorporates a green protective ingredient from ISP to prevent mold and mildew under extreme conditions, without negatively affecting the product's versatile applicability and consumer friendliness.
UGL's DRYLOK® Extreme Masonry Waterproofer is a latex-based, low-odor, VOC-compliant formula that combines the superior waterproofing capabilities of traditional DRYLOK waterproofing paint with a smoother finish through the addition of ceramic fillers.
DRYLOK brand waterproofer is used in typical painting applications and also in such environmentally sensitive areas as birdbaths and fishponds. Consequently, while many manufacturers moved to incorporate biocides into their products to prevent mold and mildew, UGL stayed clear of such additives to maintain the DRYLOK reputation for versatility and consumer friendliness.
FUNGITROL® 920 from ISP is the first biocidal product to be included in a UGL waterproofer. It is an EPA- registered, solvent-free, water-based fungicide that guards the dry paint film of DRYLOK extreme waterproofer with no-VOC, low odor, broad- spectrum protection against degradation, discoloration and defacement caused by mold and mildew, but without adding any potentially hazardous elements into the mix. It is a member of ISP's new CLEANGUARD™ family of green biocides, fungicides and algaecides, developed by the company to provide low- or no-VOC biocidal protection using well-accepted active ingredients specially formulated to eliminate any hazardous components.
