Antimicrobial powder coatings for architecture and construction

Antimicrobial powder coatings meet the demand for improved hygiene and act to perfectly complement existing cleaning regimes. They allow the surfaces of any product finished with antimicrobial ranges to protect against growth and degradation caused by microbes. These intelligent coatings can reduce up to 99.99 % microbes that cause odors, spots and degradation on the covered surfaces, offering users the reliability of knowing that there is a defense layer for their product. Antimicrobial coatings can provide high performance protection for a wide range of applications and environments.

The antimicrobial properties of intelligent coatings, in some cases use silver ions to help inhibit microbes growth. Since silver is a natural element, its ions are environmentally responsible and it has been shown that they offer high protection against these micro organisms. It is important to emphasize that this technology does not replace good cleaning practices, it cannot protect users against bacteria, viruses, germs or other pathogenic organisms.

Antimicrobial coatings can be used in a wide variety of internal and external surfaces which provides additional functionality for architects and builders when using a product that has a long higher performance history: resistance, durability sustainability and economy.
