Façades are exposed to rain, humidity and changing weather conditions every day. To maintain reliable protection over time, active ingredients need to remain effective exactly where they are needed: in the coating film.

Our controlled-release technology supports longer-lasting façade protection by releasing the active ingredient gradually rather than all at once. This helps maintain performance over an extended period while enabling more efficient dosing. The active stays focused in the paint film, where it can provide protection against microbial growth.

Compared with conventional active ingredients, this approach can also support an improved labeling outlook - helping formulators balance strong performance with evolving environmental and regulatory expectations. The technology is available in Rocima® next IP 20 and Rocima® next OIT 25. Its strong performance has been validated in both laboratory and field testing, offering confidence for demanding exterior coating applications.
