ACTICIDE® PDR

ACTICIDE® PDR by Thor is a general purpose, biocide. It is DCOIT in PVC resin powder. This additive is adsorbed for ease of incorporation. It is used in a wide variety of PVC and similar applications.

Overview

ACTICIDE® PDR is a premium dry-film preservative developed by Thor, specifically formulated for long-term protection of coatings, sealants, and construction materials exposed to challenging outdoor environments. It is based on a combination of isothiazolinone derivatives (DCOIT) and other stabilizers, providing robust defense against fungal and algal growth on coated surfaces. ACTICIDE® PDR offers superior leach resistance and UV stability, ensuring active ingredients remain within the film for sustained protection. Ideal for architectural coatings, textured finishes, and roofing applications, this preservative maintains aesthetic quality and structural integrity under severe moisture, temperature, and weathering conditions.

Benefits

  • Long-Term Microbial Protection: Effective against fungi, algae, and bacteria.

  • Excellent Leach Resistance: Retains active ingredients within the coating film.

  • UV and Weather Stability: Maintains efficacy under outdoor exposure.

  • Compatible with Multiple Systems: Suitable for water-based and solvent-based coatings.

  • Sustained Durability: Provides extended dry-film protection for high-value surfaces.

  • Environmentally Conscious: Meets modern environmental and regulatory standards.

Applications

  • Exterior Architectural Coatings – Prevents fungal staining and algal contamination on facades and walls.

  • Roof Coatings & Waterproof Membranes – Maintains coating performance in wet and high-humidity conditions.

  • Wood Coatings – Protects wood finishes from surface mold and discoloration.

  • Industrial Protective Coatings – Provides preservation in harsh marine and high-moisture environments.

  • Construction Compounds & Sealants – Ensures microbial resistance in caulks, grouts, and adhesives.

  • Textured Decorative Finishes – Preserves decorative plasters and renders from fungal degradation.
