Description
Algae Died B is a versatile algaecide concentrate that can be used to control algae, mildew, mould and bacteria wherever they grow. Effective on slipways, concrete paths, painted surfaces, natural and artificial grasses.
Algae killer for driveways, paths and other masonry surfaces
Algae Died B is popular with and widely used by people wanting to clear and maintain hard surfaces such as paths, driveways etc. It is a popular choice as it does not harm plants and grassed areas.
For long-term maintenance of hard surfaces, use in conjunction with a penetrating sealer such as our Shield It.
Algaecide chemicals used by Australian Councils
Councils up and down the Australian east coast choose Algae Died B because it is a safe, effective and easy to use algae killer. These councils regularly use it to clear slipways, clean ocean swimming pools as well as a multitude of other algae and mould cleanup tasks.
See the ‘Testimonials’ tab above for details.
Easy to use, and effective algaecide
Algae Died B is also easy to use as it will readily foam which enables it to stick to vertical surfaces for longer than a simple spray. As a result, this lingering foam increases the contact time with the algae. This increase in contact time improves its effectiveness as an algae killer on uneven surfaces.
The foaming effect is best achieved with a foaming gun, such as a Lafferty Foaming Gun.
Algae Died B is an economical algaecide concentrate
Algae Died B is a true concentrate. In some cases it can be used at a dilution rate of 1 part Algae Died B to 100 parts water.
See the ‘Directions’ tab above for use and dilution details.
Algae Died B is a highly effective replacement for Air Con Coil Cleaner.

Helen Prideaux – Five Star Google Review
We have a long sandstone path and stairway and within days of us pressure washing our pavers, we would always start to see the green tinge of algae and moss reappearing.
Aside from the constant cleaning being exhausting the water pressure jets were starting to eat away at our sandstone.
A friend suggested that we spray the pavers with Chemron’s Algae Died B before and after the pressure washing to kill all the mould and algae.
The previous ‘green tinge’ has not reappeared and months on is looking wonderful.
Great product, highly recommended.
Ross Macdonald – Five Star Google Review I would HIGHLY recommend the Chemron Chemicals products: ALGAE-DIED ‘B’ and
SHIELD-I.T.
They have made my concrete paver balconies look amazing again!
“FIVE STARS”
Here’s my story! (If you have 3 spare minutes!)…
The concrete pavers on my balconies needed a desperate clean and reseal after many years of neglect, so I was looking for products that were readily available from the local hardware stores.
I had a high pressure cleaner, so I was just after a good quality sealer, hoping the job would last for several years at least.
I then received some great advice from a friend, and he recommended some Chemron Chemicals’ products, namely ALGAE-DIED ‘B’,
SHIELD-I.T. and
U-BEAUT degreaser.
He advised me that the
U-BEAUT degreaser would be especially helpful in dissolving the years of grime build up, to make the cleaning easier; the ALGAE-DIED ‘B’ would be perfect to apply before sealing to remove and kill any residual spores and as a preventative to stop regrowth of the algae and mould; and the
SHIELD-I.T. would penetrate deep into the pavers to make them “liquid/stain-proof” for a long time.
Between the heatwave conditions and the rainy days in Sydney, in January 2019, I was constrained with when I was able to clean and seal the pavers on the balcony, so I went ahead and pressure cleaned the pavers at the first chance I had, before I got any of the recommended chemicals.
The cleaning alone ended up taking a lot longer than anticipated – many hours (days, actually!) of hard work to remove the embedded dirt, mould and algae.
Unfortunately, I didn’t use the degreaser as I had already cleaned the pavers by the time I got the products…
In hindsight, I wish I had, because, if it worked anything like the other 2 products worked, then my initial cleaning job would have been SO MUCH easier and quicker!
Anyway, I had just cleaned the pavers, and they came up beautifully…
However, within a couple of days (as we had some wet weather and needed to let the pavers dry out to treat with ALGAE-DIED ‘B’, and before sealing them), the green spots of growing algae began to appear all over my hard-earned (and now lost!) work!
I couldn’t believe how quickly the algae returned, so as soon as the weather cleared again, I quickly re-cleaned the pavers, and applied ALGAE-DIED ‘B’ the next day with an old paint roller.
Easy.
Needless to say… I have NO MORE RE-GROWTH OF ALGAE!! The pavers still look like they are ‘just cleaned’!
I then applied the
SHIELD I.T. with a sprayer (one of those pump-up type from the hardware store) to the dry pavers. The pavers were so porous, that they soaked up the treatment quickly, even after a couple of applications.
Within a couple of hours, the pavers looked and felt ‘normal’ again.
It wasn’t until our 8-month old puppy had a ‘little accident’ on the balcony, that we could see just how effective
SHIELD I.T. really is!
Her little puddle just seemed to ‘float’ on the previously VERY porous pavers! ANY liquid just ‘beads’ on top, so it can easily be wiped or washed off, without leaving any stain.
Amazing!
It’s been a couple of weeks now since completing the treatment of the pavers, we’ve had some rain (and more puppy accidents!), and the balcony pavers are looking fantastic – no algae, no mould, no dirt, no stains!
Thank you ChemronChemicals!

Sutherland Shire Council
Sutherland Shire Council contacted Chemron with a slip problem due to a build-up of algae on our boat ramps and our rock pools.
Chemron provided a demonstration of their product Algae Died B which when foamed onto the surfaces successfully killed the algae using a non-hazardous formula.
After application, we found that the return of the algae was significantly reduced requiring less cleaning. We were very happy with the demonstration and the performance of the product in each application. The before and after photographs speak for themselves, an excellent product with easy application.
I would strongly recommend Chemron Algae Died B to people who need to provide Algae free non-slip surfaces.
