Fight Microbial Growth on Your Finish

With the addition of Microban® antimicrobial protection, Sherwin-Williams continues to develop and provide innovative coating solutions for finishing partners. Whether manufacturers of medical diagnostic equipment, door hardware, workout equipment or gym lockers, and laboratory furniture or kitchen cabinets, Sherwin-Williams with Microban® technology provides protection that finishers and consumers can rely on.

In 2012, Sherwin-Williams incorporated Microban® technology into their products, aiming to provide antimicrobial protection through paint and coating solutions. Sherwin-Williams is able to engineer paints and coatings for powders, wood, plastics, electronics, medical equipment, and metal office furniture by manufacturing Microban® technology into paints, coatings and product finishers. Microban® technology is built into the molecular structure of the paint and coatings and offers 24/7 protection by inhibiting the growth of odor and stain causing bacteria on surfaces where paint and coatings are applied. Microban® antimicrobial protection helps keep Sherwin-Williams coatings cleaner for longer.
