A fungicide is important for use as a preventative measure against acid producing and decaying biological organisms such as molds and is commonly used in industries such as wood, paper and pulp, rubber, textiles, ceramics, polymers and plastics.

Royce is well known for its high performance and high quality products; among them is fungicide that is known as zinc borate. Zinc borate is a boron-based fungicide and fire-retardant with its optimum performance being as a fungicide and preservative. In addition to functioning as a fungicide, zinc borate is also a corrosion inhibitor hence its use in the rubber, polymer and plastics industries. It acts as a corrosion inhibitor when mixed evenly in a coating or composite and should be incorporated during the pigment dispersion cycle in the coating preparation process. Royce's zinc borate is EPA approved as a fungicide and fire retardant and is manufactured under the strictest environmental standards.

There are three products available from Royce that utilizes the fungicide and fire retardant properties of zinc borate which include: FireChoke ZB, Fireguard and CermamicGuard-ZB. FireChoke is used as a smoke suppressant and flame retardant in polymer compounds by diffusing water of hydration. In CeramicGuard-ZB, zinc borate is used to affix glazes or enamels and enhances their durability and luster. Fiberguard is an important fungicide specifically for the treatment of wood, lumber and hardwood plywood. It is used to protect against termites and other corrosive insects and has been tried, tested and used extensively to promote the long life of wood through its preservative properties. Fiberguard is especially effective as a fungicide to prevent molds and retard flame in plastic-wood deck boards when added in the extrusion stages.

Other applications of zinc borate as a flame retardant and fungicide include use in PVC, polyolefins, polyamides, elastomers and epoxy resin.
