AMME™ Launch

Acti-Chem has pioneered the development of protection technology for biocides for dry film applications. The result of 10 years progress has resulted in the launch of AMME™ (Advanced Micro Matrix Embedding). This novel technology has enabled the creation of a new generation of dry film ACTICIDE® biocides with a wide range of benefits.

Advantages of AMME™ include enhanced dry film stability, including improved thermal and UV stability and reduced leaching and discolouration potential. The technology also enables products with an optimised toxicological profile and the in-can stability is improved.

AMME™ IPBC products are recommended for the protection from fungal growth of interior and exterior coatings, timber protection products, adhesives, fillers and sealants and are particularly suitable for the long term protection of wood coatings from surface mould growth. The DCOIT range with AMME™ provides dry-film protection of coatings, plasters and similar products from fungal and algal growth. In all cases the level of an AMME™ biocide active ingredient can be reduced compared to the use of standard biocidal actives.

Further information on AMME™ products is available from your local representative.
