Anti-algal agent

Abstract

Disclosed is an anti-algal agent to inhibit algal growth on articles treated with the anti-algal agent. Initially, a Supramolecular Macrocyclic Inorganic Polymer (SMIP) having multiple voids is derived. The voids are in a crystal structure of the SMIP. The SMIP is derived from a metallic element having a multiple valance. The metallic element may have a differential polarity, a hydrogen bonding ability, and an imbalanced electronic orbital energy disposition. Further, a Technical Grade Active Ingredient (TGAI) may be infused in the voids of the SMIP to obtain an anti-algal agent. The anti-algal agent may act as at least one of a biocides or as a preservative to inhibit algal growth on the articles treated. Furthermore, the anti-algal agent when used for treating on properties of treated articles may avoid deterioration of the article from microbial attacks.
