This powdercoat additive uses silver ion technology to reduce microbial growth, such as bacteria and mold, up to 99.9% on coated surfaces. It is designed to be used in areas where there is an obvious need to maintain a low level of microbes with high traffic – for example in transport, schools and campuses, places of care and food preparation areas.
