Product Information
POLYPHASE® 663 Broad Spectrum Biocide EPA Registration No. 5383-109 This product is covered under the following Patent: US 6,197,805 Description
Polyphase® 663 is a broad-spectrum, water-based product that is effective against a wide variety of fungal and algal organisms. This product is particularly useful in water-based products in which Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are a major concern and more than fungal protection is desired. It is particularly effective for application over cementitious substrates.
Application/ Use
Polyphase 663 offers excellent dry film fungal and algal protection in exterior paints, masonry coatings, stucco, and pigmented water-based wood protective stains. Polyphase 663 also provides excellent protection against mildew and algal growth on adhesives, caulks, sealants, and for other industrial applications.

*Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is an indication of which microorganisms can be controlled by a preservative and the concentration at which growth of the test organism is inhibited under laboratory conditions. MIC values are expressed in parts per million (ppm). The lower the MIC value in ppm, the greater the product’s effectiveness. MIC values should only be used for relative comparisons. Practical use concentrations are generally much higher and should be established through field tests and actual use.

Function/ Activity
Suggested use levels are based on laboratory and field evaluations and are typical for the applications indicated. Suggested use levels for the indicated applications should be verified by field trials. Suggested use levels are reported as a percentage of the end-use product as a ratio of the Biocide Weight to Weight of the final end-use product. Percent Weight/Weight Exterior paint ........................................................................................................................ 0.7 – 2.0 Masonry................................................................................................................................. 0.2 – 0.6 Wood protective stain............................................................................................................ 0.5 – 2.0 Adhesives, caulks & sealants................................................................................................ 0.5 – 1.5 t cements ........................................................................................................................ 0.5 – 1.2 Roof coatings ........................................................................................................................ 0.7 – 3.0 Stucco ................................................................................................................................... 0.5 – 1.5 The actual level of Polyphase® 663 required for antimicrobial protection is formulation specific. The individual components of the formulation, the PVC level, the substrate to be coated, and the environment in which the coating will be exposed all have an influence on the amount of protection needed.
Formulating Considerations
Formulation Testing TROY Corporation’s Microbiological Laboratory is available to provide additional assistance in determining the proper level of protection needed for your system.
Paint and Coatings Polyphase 663 has been shown to be an excellent control agent against mold, mildew, and algae for water-based paints and coatings. In hot, humid areas where mold and mildew are a particularly severe problem, the higher application levels are suggested. Polyphase 663 should be added with good agitation at the end of the manufacturing cycle (see Formulation Notes).
Wood Protective Stains (Water-Based) Polyphase 663 offers broad spectrum protection against the discoloration of the protective film due to blue stain, mold, and algae. Polyphase 663 does not change the appearance of wood or have any influence on its coatability. Polyphase 663 is recommended only for pigmented wood stains. For clear and semi-transparent stains, performance tests should be conducted to ensure that Polyphase 663 does not affect the transparency of the final coating.
Exterior Adhesives, Caulks, And Sealants Polyphase 663 can be used to prevent the growth of fungal and algal organisms in both the wet and cured adhesives, caulks, and sealants. Polyphase 663 should be added towards the end of the production cycle with good agitation.
Formulation Notes Field testing of final products under actual use conditions is strongly recommended. Metal containers for formulated products should always be lined. Do not store formulated products for prolonged periods in iron or steel containers. For paint and coating applications, Polyphase 663 should be added at the end of the manufacturing cycle after final pH adjustments have been made (not during the grind).

Toxicity Data available on this product below. For additional information, Troy Chemical Corporation. Acute Oral Effects: LD50 (oral, rat) - 4958 mg/kg. Acute Skin Effects: LD50 (dermal, rabbit) >5000 mg/kg. Slight irritation. This product is not a skin sensitizer. Acute Eye Effects: Mild eye irritant (rabbit) Acute Inhalation Effects: LC50 (rat, 4 hr) >2.05 mg/l
Subchronic Effects and Other Studies n-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)-n,n-Dimethlyurea: In animal feeding studies, this material caused blood, bladder, and kidney effects. Methyl benzimidazole-2-yl carbamate: Reproductive effects have been reported in several animal species (rat, mouse, and hamster) with oral istration based on the highest exposure levels tested. These include effects on spermatogenesis, decreased fertility, fetotoxicity, and developmental abnormalities. Genotoxic effects have been demonstrated on both in vitro and in vivo tests. Kaolin: In animal studies, female rats fed 20% kaolin in their diet resulted in reproductive effects. For additional information on active ingredients, Troy Chemical Corporation. Environmental Effects
Ecotoxicity This product is toxic to fish. Do not apply directly to water or wetlands. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters.

Environmental Fate This product is a pesticide and may cause adverse environmental impact. Avoid contamination of streams and sewers. The active ingredient, n-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)-n,n-Dimethlyurea, is mobile and has the potential to leach to ground and to contaminate surface waters. It is very persistent in soils and has a low bioaccumulation potential. Aquatic half-life > 100 days @ pH of 7; 22 deg C. Octanol/water partition coefficient: LogPow = 2.71-2.82 Methyl benzimidazole-2-yl carbamate has a low bioaccumulation potential. Octanol/water partition coefficient: LogPow = 1.6 The fate of the active ingredient, IPBC, is quite favorable. Degradation is rapid and occurs through biological as well as non-biological processes. Classified as readily biodegradable. Low potential to bioaccumulate. Octanol/water partition coefficient: LogPow = 2.81 COD: 1148 mg/g.
