Troy Corporation is a global leader in the development and testing of dry-film preservatives, trusted by coatings manufacturers around the world. In addition to Troy’s commitment to research & development, a key factor in this leadership is Troy’s extensive product testing capabilities. Troy currently has 13 field testing sites in climatically and microbiologically diverse locations around the world to test the effectiveness of its advanced Polyphase, Troysan, and Fungitrol dry-film preservatives.
 
“While laboratory testing of preservatives has value as a screening tool,” said Troy’s Dr. Izzy Colon, SVP, Science & Technology, “there is no substitute for long-term outdoor exposure testing.”

Troy has been a leader in field testing for several decades and has added to the number of its sites over the years.

“Troy has one of the largest networks of field testing sites in the industry, with a remarkable diversity of climatic and microbial environments,” Colon said. “The importance of this is to evaluate preservatives against the greatest possible range of microbial threats so that our customers can be assured of the highest levels of dry-film protection against any eventuality in real-world use.”
 
Troy Corporation continues to make significant investments to provide customers with added value through innovative products and expert technical service.

“Troy’s field testing sites represent an important investment by the company,” Colon said. “This is beneficial to our customers, and just as importantly, to their customers.”
