• Long-lasting broad spectrum protection: given the complementary nature of its three active ingredients, ROCIMATM 63 microbicide offers durable protection against the growth of fungi and algae.
• Two modes of protective action: One prevents the treated surface from serving as the substrate for contaminating micro-organisms to grow and proliferate; Two, when the surface becomes wet through rain or condensation, the controlled diffusion of the active ingredients into the wet phase prevents the growth of micro-organisms on the surface layer.
• ROCIMATM 63 microbicide can be used alone or in combination with ROZONETM 2000 microbicide, ROCIMATM 200 microbicide or SKANETM M-8 mildewcide.
• Liquid: easily incorporated into formulations
• Does not contribute to yellowing or chalking

- Product Uses
- It provides superior protection of all exterior coatings, where algae can be a challenge.
- Such surfaces are often covered with airborne particles from industrial production and internal combustion engines, soil and fertilizer, pollen and other particulates.
- This material serves as a substrate for microorganisms.
- ROCIMA™ 63 microbicide is a fluid, pumpable dispersion of active ingredients.
- It is easy to handle, meter and incorporate into aqueous systems.
- ROCIMA™ 63 microbicide is registered for exterior use in paints, stains, building materials, stucco, caulks and sealants.
- Dosage Details
- The optimum dosage of ROCIMATM 63 microbicide depends largely upon the exposure to weathering and the amount of dirt to be expected on the surfaces to be treated and the potential of the local environment to contaminate it.
- It will also be dependent on the susceptibility of the coating or building material to fungal and algal growth.
- Generally, it is recommended to use from 0.25 to 2.0 pounds of ROCIMATM 63 microbicide per 100 pounds of formulation (2.5 to 20 pounds per 100 gallons).
- If necessary, dosages up to 3 pounds of ROCIMATM 63 microbicide per 100 pounds of formulation may be used (30 pounds per 100 gallons).
- Dosage levels of ROCIMATM 63 microbicide will depend on the type of formulation (for example, stains will require higher dosages and cementitious surfaces lower dosages), the level of protection required and the climate to which the material will be exposed.
- In cases of exposure to extreme weather conditions, or if the coating is subjected to continuous condensation or to rapid contamination with surface dirt, the dosage of ROCIMATM 63
- microbicide may have to be increased.
- It is recommended that the proposed dosages are checked in laboratory tests and, if possible, with field exposure studies.
- This applies to both the compatibility in the finished product and to the expected level of protection.

Storage & Handling
- Storage Information
- ROCIMA™ 63 microbicide should be stored in tightly sealed original containers and preferably at room temperature.
- Protect from frost and heat. If the product does freeze, it has to be mixed homogeneously after warming up and can then be used without any loss in effectiveness.
- Handling Information
In general, avoid eye and skin contact, wear safety goggles, rubber gloves and protective clothing. In case of eye or skin contact despite precautionary measures, wash immediately
and thoroughly with plenty of warm water and obtain medical attention.
