Algae Management
Our Algae Remover (trade name: Roloxid 10) is an ideal product for treating the unsightly green algae that can be seen all around us.
Algae Remover may be used on concrete, playground surfaces, tennis courts, tiles, headstones, sandstone, metal, wood (perfect for decking that becomes very slippery with the growth of green algae), roofs, uPVC and tarmac without causing harm to the surface.
The product is totally biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
Depending on the degree of growth, Algae Remover should be diluted between 1:5 and 1:20 and applied with a knapsack sprayer or a watering can giving the surface a good wetting.
Be sure to apply it ONLY when no rain is expected for up to 8 or 9 hours.
Typical coverage with a sprayer unit for one litre of product would be as follows:
1:5 dilution rate will treat up to 50m².
1:20 Dilution rate will treat up to 200m².
The Algae will begin to turn brown within a day or two and will be dead inside a week.
In most instances, the elements will blow and/or wash away any residue left behind leaving the surface free of growth.
After treatment, surfaces are protected from algae and moss growth for up to 6 months.
The product is supplied in a case of 6 x 1 Litre bottles - ideal for measuring the ratio when diluting (e.g. 1 litre bottle to 5 litres water, 2 bottles to 10 litres of water and so on...) - or in a 10 litre drum for commercial users.
Some well known buildings treated with Algae and Moss Remover are Ennis and Killarney's Cathedrals, the National Monument on the Grand Parade in Cork City and the Shelbourn Hotel in Dublin.
Algae Remover (trade name: Roloxid 10) is approved for use in Ireland by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine - PCS no: 94843.
