Why Manufacturers Need Antimicrobial Solutions for Building Materials
It’s often said that you cannot build a great structure on a weak foundation, and when microbes begin to degrade building materials, they tear away at these solid foundations, resulting in structural damage and visible stains and odors.
While thousands of products are negatively impacted by microbe growth, building products are of specific concern because of the high costs of installation, maintenance, and repair.
Microban® Antimicrobial Technology: Engineered for Building Material Protection
The best defense for ensuring a quality lifespan for your building materials is to use Microban® antimicrobial solutions, like antimicrobial paint and antimicrobial cleaner, for mold prevention and product protection.
Microbes do not discriminate between which building materials they choose to inhabit. In fact, microbes exist on every surface and environment that we encounter on a daily basis and outnumber us in every way. It is easy to imagine microbes growing in the dirtier places that we regularly clean, like toilet seats, sinks, tile, and countertops. But since we know that microbes are not choosy about where and what they inhabit, microbes also attack unsuspecting building materials, such as insulation, paints, sealants, and grout.
While consumers may not realize it, microbes are present on surfaces even before the stains, mold, and odors become apparent. Once your consumers are made aware of the presence of microbes through visible stains and odors, product degradation has already begun. Ultimately, this degradation leads to structural damage, decreased product integrity, and a shorter life span of the product.
Your goal as a company is to provide your customers with the best building materials, the best value, with the best reputation. At Microban, that’s our goal, too. We believe that antimicrobial solutions and antimicrobial cleaner, for mold prevention and product production should be a foundational element for each and every product. Our engineers design unique compounds from the ground up to fit your building’s product protection needs, so your materials can provide the strongest foundations.
Antimicrobial Paint Coatings: A Case Study with Davis Frost Paints
One industry leader, Davis Frost Paints, heard and understood their consumers’ increasing concerns over the presence of mold, mildew, stains, and odors on painted surfaces in residential and commercial facilities. Putting the customer first, Davis Frost Paints partnered with us to manufacture a range of paint lines with Microban antimicrobial paint technology.
