What is Surrender?
- Surrender® is a fast acting, easy to use formulation for the control of moss, algae, liverwort and lichen. It has minimum odour and will not stain.
- Algae will disappear with days — simply spray and walk away. Surrender® is highly soluble, cost effective and easy to use.
- Surrender® has rapid and efficient germicidal activity against a wide range of micro-organisms. A selected blend of biocidal actives that give maximum microbiocidal activity while having good physical properties. The active ingredient is used as a sanitiser for the control of bacteria, certain fungi, viruses and bacterial spores in a number of industries.
Where can it be used?
- Can be used safely on bentgrass, buffalo, couch, fescue and ryegrass lawns to control algae, lichen, liverwort and moss.
- Spray over tiled roofs, rockeries, driveways, patio bricks, outdoor furniture, fences, walls, gutters and paths for effective algae, moss, lichen and liverwort control.
- Surrender® can be safely used on painted surfaces, steel, plastic, synthetic materials, wooden and material surfaces at label rates.
- Can be used around potted ornamentals. If sprayed directly onto plants, wash off with water within 5 minutes to reduce risk of damage, particularly on soft or new foliage.
- Surrender® is an effective algicide against black and blue-green algae, and can be used as an efficient agent for the treatment of algae in swimming pools and water-cooling systems. The excellent algae control properties of Surrender® coupled with its high bactericidal potency, makes it a very effective chemical for slime control.
