Safety Direct Egypt – Antimicrobial Paints

Safety Direct Egypt are increasingly seeking ways to differentiate their paint products. Aside from vibrant new colour ranges, easy-clean promises and environmentally-friendly ingredients, what else can you do to make your paints & coatings stand out from the crowd? SDE is now incorporating antimicrobial technology.

Antimicrobial paint additives are specific actives that can be introduced into a paint, coating process to make it resistant to microbes.

So what are the 5 benefits of antimicrobial paint?

Antimicrobial paint will provide lasting protection against microbes

Scientifically proven antimicrobial paint additives will provide lasting and effective protection against harmful bacteria, mould and fungi, ultimately helping your paint or coating to minimise staining, bad odours and material degradation on any surface it is applied to. For as long as the paint remains on that surface, microbes will struggle to survive.

Antimicrobial paint is more durable and will last for longer

Once infused into your paints or coatings, antimicrobial paint additives will not leech, cause discolouration or affect the final finish, making it less susceptible to the lumps and stench that often characterise gone-off paint products.

Antimicrobial paint is a cost-effective differentiator

Antimicrobial paint additives can be easily and cost-effectively manufactured into all types of solvent, water-based, liquid, oil or powder paints and coatings, including general industrial coatings, decorative coatings, speciality coatings, speciality inks and varnishes. This allows manufacturers to offer differentiated paint products without breaking the bank.

Antimicrobial paint is part of a growing market

According to the global antimicrobial coatings market was valued at $2.44 billion in 2015. A growing concern for cleanliness in various environments has led to the continued rapid growth of this industry. Articles within hygiene-critical environments such as hospitals, schools, care homes and food production facilities are known to harbour pathogenic bacteria and other microbes for extended periods of time; the H1N1 genome in particular is reported to survive on surfaces for up to 24 hours. This, combined with the increased prevalence of antibiotic resistance and reports that cleaning agents are having a reduced effect on microbial colonisation, is why leading global brands are looking to source effective antimicrobial paint additives that can be integrated into their paint products.
