Lichen & Biological Growth Remover

Chemitek Lichen Removal Agent (LRA) breaks the bond between lichen, moss or fungi and the module glass, so the growth can be brushed and rinsed away without harming the glass coating, silicone or frame.

Break the Bond Safely

In humid or shaded spots, lichen and moss take hold on module glass and frames. They block light, trap moisture and are hard to shift with water or brushing alone.

LRA loosens the growth's grip on the glass so it brushes off. It is a remediation product: afterwards, a coating such as Antistatic Solar Armor or D-Solar Defendor seals the glass so any new growth bonds less strongly.
