TEK Deck ProTM Masterbatch with Color and Biocide
Teknor Color Company's biocide-containing color masterbatch for wood/plastics composite (WPC) decks and other building applications enables manufacturers to enhance the appearance and longevity of their products while saving on additive costs. The masterbatch combines color, UV absorber and a biocide into a single product that costs at least 15% less than if the three additives were purchased separately.
Teknor Color custom-manufactures TEK Deck Pro masterbatches to meet individual color and UV-protection requirements and can also incorporate pigments whose high level of infrared reflectance reduces heat buildup in deck components, which can cause polymer degradation. The function of the UV absorber is to prevent chalking and cracking caused by prolonged exposure to solar UV. The biocide improves aesthetics by controlling fungal growth, which can cause staining and makes cleaning of the deck difficult.
Besides providing WPC processors with the handling ease and cost savings of an additive package, TEK Deck Pro helps products look better and last longer. The biocide has consistently exhibited outstanding performance in field trials and accelerated weathering and contains no heavy metals, making it an environmentally friendly.
Other WPC applications that can benefit from TEK Deck Pro masterbatch, include fences, railings, and siding, as well as non-construction uses in the marine and other sectors. TEK Deck Pro can be used with polyolefin resins as well as rigid and flexible PVC.
