NEW BLACK SPOT & ALGAE REMOVER JOINS ECOPROTEC ® EXTERNAL RANGE

Contract surface care specialist , ECOPROTEC has introduced new Black Spot & Algae Remover to its Exterior Range . The new acidfree , ready-to-use treatment safely removes stubborn stains and slippery residue , restoring the performance and aesthetic of natural stone , concrete , brick and porcelain . Giving results in as little as two hours , the treatment is ideal for deep cleaning new and existing paths , patios , terraces and driveways in residential and commercial settings .
Made in the UK , the new treatment targets organic residues , including black spot , white spot , lichen , moss , algae and other stains caused by damp and slippery leaf matter ; treatment in the autumn , in particular , breaks down microspores and hyphae before they colonise . The treatment is applied neat to swept surfaces with a plastic watering can or light pressure garden spray ; the fizzing formula then breaks down residue in 2-4 hours and its bleaching action removes stains . Surfaces are then hosed with clean water .
ECOPROTEC Black Spot & Algae Remover can be used on dry and slightly damp surfaces and should be applied during a morning or afternoon of fair weather . Following treatment , natural stone surfaces can then be protected with ECOPROTEC Patio Sealer , whilst barrier treatment - ECOPROTEC Pre Grout Protection - is recommended for matt porcelain pavers . Both treatments create a barrier without altering surface appearance ; this prevents absorption of moisture and organic particles , reducing staining and the spread of algae , mould and black spot .
Developed for the contract and landscape sectors , the ECOPROTEC ® range includes best-selling surface treatments for all types of tile and stone . A new updated website - at www . ecoprotec . co . uk – presents the exterior range as a separate category from ECOPROTEC ® interior treatments and includes a comprehensive library of supporting technical resources for the contractor and landscaper .
