ASTM G29 Algae Resistance Test

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM G29 standard. This standard evaluates the ability of an antimicrobial surface to resist algae attack.

These types of tests are important because algae are ubiquitous in and around bodies of water. Many of these watery environments are associated with human activities, such as swimming pools.

Under the right conditions, algae can proliferate and form large macrofilms that can penetrate these structures and render them unsightly and sometimes dangerous. Over time, some algae can degrade components to the point where they need to be replaced.

One way to prevent or eliminate widespread algae growth on or around human structures is to use materials formulated to resist surface adhesion or otherwise inhibit algae growth. To achieve these properties, anti-algal coatings, films are applied or formulated on materials that come into contact with water.
