ACTICIDE® PDS

ACTICIDE® PDS by Thor is a phthalate-free, biocide. It is DCOIT in aromatic solvent. It offers protection from bacterial- & fungal growth and associated color changes. It is used in plasticized PVC.

Overview

ACTICIDE® PDS is a high-performance dry-film preservative from Thor, designed to provide long-term protection against fungal and algal growth on coated and treated surfaces. Formulated with a blend of isothiazolinone derivatives and stabilizers, ACTICIDE® PDS offers outstanding durability in harsh outdoor environments where coatings are exposed to moisture, UV radiation, and temperature fluctuations. Its superior leach resistance ensures that the active ingredients remain within the film, delivering consistent protection over the service life of the coating. ACTICIDE® PDS is ideal for architectural coatings, decorative finishes, and construction materials requiring extended microbial defense.

Benefits
