Algronix™

Advanced Nano Hybrid Technology for Long Lasting Anti Biofouling and Anti Algae Performance in Marine and Agriculture

This patented, National Innovation Award winning additive combines Nano engineered Copper and Nano-Silica super hydrophobic structures to prevent algae, biofouling, barnacle attachment. The Nano Copper phase disrupts biofilm formation at the molecular level, while the Nano- Silica network creates a “Lotus Effect” surface that resists microbial adhesion. This dual action barrier significantly extends the durability and performance of polymeric films, marine components, structures.

Conventional Challenges & Our Breakthrough

Parameter Conventional Anti-Fouling Algronix Nano-Defence
Technology Biocide paints/coatings (Cu, Zn) Nano-copper + Nano-silica, Superhydrophobic
Mode of Action Leaching toxic biocides Controlled Cu ions + low energy surface
Eco Impact High leaching, Harmful, regulated Zero leaching, Eco-compliant
Durability Erodes, frequent recoats Long-lasting, low maintenance
Drag Biofilm buildup, Higher drag Smooth, algae-free, better flow
Lifecycle Cost Low upfront, high upkeep Higher upfront, lower overall

Greenhouse Anti-Algae Films Vs. Conventional Films

Parameter Conventional Films Algronix Nano-Defense Films
Algae Resistance Minimal, biofilm forms fast Strong, delays algae growth
Transparency Drops with algae/dust High light transmission retained
Cleaning Frequent, labor-heavy Fewer washes, saves water/labor
Surface Hydrophilic/Untreated Nano-silica hydrophobic, anti-adhesion
Lifespan 1–3 yrs, degrades early Longer life, self cleaning
Productivity PAR loss reduces yield Consistent light = Higher yield
