The use of biocides in paint has become a popular method to increase its durability and maintain its quality. These biocide additives have been specifically designed to shield paint from damage during its storage or to prevent the growth of algae and fungus once the paint is applied. The trend of using biocides in paint is expected to continue to rise due to the transition from solvent-based paint to water-based versions, which are more eco-friendly and safer for human health, and provide effective protection against mold and algae. Nevertheless, the shift from traditional chlorine and formaldehyde-based biocides to those that are more environment-friendly results in an increase in the cost of manufacturing paint. Some major companies, such as The Dow Chemical Company, Troy Corporation, BASF SE, Thor Group, and AkzoNobel N.V, are known for utilizing biocide in the production of their paints.
