Did you know that 1 out of 5 houses in Europe uses wood which is protected by Syngenta fungicides?

Sporgard
Many of the materials that you build into your homes can be extremely susceptible to mold growth. That’s why Syngenta, worldwide leader in fungicides, has created Sporgard™—a highly innovative, built-in solution designed to fortify these materials and provide lasting protection against mold. The broad-spectrum, multiple blockade fungicides in Sporgard makes it the most effective, most comprehensive mold protection technology available.
While some mold protection products simply resist moisture, materials treated with Sporgard actually fight a variety of spores, helping to prevent mold growth to create a healthy environment in your homes. Be sure to look for building products that feature the comprehensive mold prevention of Sporgard in the near future.
