Antimicrobial additives are added to paints and varnishes to provide antimicrobial protection. These additives are added to paints, coatings, inks, or lacquers during the production stages to make them resistant to microbes. These additives are formulated to suit the type of paint or coating, the material to be treated, and the production technique used. Antimicrobial additives are added to all solvent-based, water-based, liquid, oil-based, or powder paints and coatings.
These antimicrobial compounds provide up to 99,99 percent permanent and effective protection against harmful bacteria, mold, fungi and viruses, minimizing the risks of staining, foul odor and material deterioration on any surface where paint or coating is applied. For example, silver ion antimicrobial additives, when integrated into paints or coatings, do not leach from the surface, cause discoloration or affect the final finish. In addition, antimicrobial paint additives last for the expected life of the product.
Items in hygienically critical environments such as hospitals, schools, nursing homes and food production facilities are known to harbor pathogenic bacteria and other microbes for long periods of time. In this respect, antibacteriality is a sought-after feature in paints and varnishes.
In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. Among the numerous tests carried out in this context, there are also antibacterial determination services in paints and varnishes.
