Biocide Steriliser: a fungal, algae and micro-spore treatment for roofs and cement tiles
Rhinoluxe Biocide Steriliser is a biocide treatment for asbestos roofs and cement tile surfaces. It controls fungal growth, moss and algae, and targets the micro-spores that let them regrow, sterilising the surface before a new coating goes on. Made for South African roofs where damp and shade let moss and algae take hold, it gives a clean, stabilised base for coating.
Key Benefits
- Controls fungal growth. Treats fungus on roof and cement tile surfaces.
- Controls moss and algae. Kills back the green and black growth on roofs.
- Targets micro-spores. Attacks the spores that drive regrowth.
- Surface preparation. Sterilises the surface before a roof coating.
- For roofs and cement tiles. Suited to asbestos roofs and cement tile surfaces.
Technical Overview
Biocide Steriliser is a biocidal wash that penetrates the growth on a roof surface and kills fungus, moss, algae and their micro-spores. By destroying the spores as well as the visible growth, it slows the return of moss and algae compared with cleaning alone, and leaves a sterilised, stable surface. It is used as a preparation step so that primers and roof coatings bond to a clean substrate rather than living growth.

Technical Guidance
Apply Biocide Steriliser to the affected surface and allow it to work on the growth, then remove the dead moss and algae and let the surface dry. Treat heavy growth again if needed. Sterilise and clean the roof fully before priming or coating so the new system bonds to a clean, stable surface. Wear appropriate protective equipment when handling.

Questions & Answers
Have a Question?
-
What sizes are available?
Biocide Steriliser is available in 5L and 20L.
-
Should I use it before painting a roof?
Yes, sterilise and clean the roof first so primers and coatings bond to a clean, stable surface.
-
Does it stop moss coming back?
By targeting micro-spores as well as visible growth, it slows regrowth compared with cleaning alone; heavy growth may need re-treatment.
-
Can I treat moss on an asbestos roof?
Yes, Biocide Steriliser is made for asbestos roofs and cement tile surfaces.
-
Is moss on a roof harmful?
Yes, moss holds moisture and can lift and degrade the roof surface over time, so it is best removed and treated.
-
How do I get rid of moss on roof tiles?
Apply Biocide Steriliser to kill the moss, algae and spores, then remove the dead growth and let the roof dry before coating.
