Paints & Coatings Additives

WHAT ARE ANTIMICROBIAL COATINGS AND PAINTS?

Antimicrobial paints and coatings are specialised formulations designed inhibit the growth of microorganisms on various type of surfaces. These products are used to create a protective layer that hinders the proliferation of bacteria, fungi, and other microbes.

HOW DO ANTIMICROBIAL COATINGS WORK?

AntiBactabs antimicrobial additives can be manufactured directly into paints, coatings, inks and lacquers – which can then be applied to existing surfaces or items such as walls, woodwork, doors, furniture, lighting, handles, switches and medical equipment. The antimicrobial protection is integrated, being part of the applied product. This makes the protected surface easier to keep hygienically clean, and much less likely to be a potential source for microbial cross contamination.

BENEFITS OF ANTIMICROBIAL PLASTIC AND POLYMERS

Our scientifically proven antimicrobial technology provides lasting and effective protection against bacteria, mould and fungi by up to 99.99%, minimising the risk of staining, bad odours and material degradation. Once infused into your plastic, our antimicrobial additives will not leach from the surface, cause discolouration or affect the clarity of the plastic. We also have data to prove that AntiBactabs’s antimicrobial plastic additives will last for the expected lifetime of your product.
