Antimicrobial Paint

It’s probably safe to anticipate that, going forward, products that allow for enhanced or increased sanitary characteristics will be higher in demand across all industries. For our clients, we’re now offering antimicrobial powder coatings to suppress the growth and reproduction of bacteria on our table bases and other components in order for you to offer added peace of mind to your clients.

What Does “Antimicrobial” Mean?

Straight out of the dictionary, “antimicrobial” is defined as the destroying or inhibiting the growth of microorganisms and especially pathogenic microorganisms. When it comes to powder coat finishes, to be defined as “antimicrobial,” the coatings are custom-formulated to contain inorganic silver agents that inhibit the growth of microbes.

What are the Benefits of Antimicrobial Powder Coatings?

With antimicrobial powder coat finishes, you can expect:

  • The suppressed growth of bacteria, mold, mildew, algae, and fungus.
  • No unpleasant odors, discoloration, staining, and/or deterioration of the coating typically caused by microbe growth.
  • Lab tests show a significant decrease of number of living bacteria in a 24-hour span.
  • They’re regulated by the U.S. Environment Protection Agency (EPA) under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
