The Environmentally Responsible Choice
Anti-microbial powder coatings
IFS anti-microbial treated powder coatings use silver ions to help inhibit the growth of microbes on the powder coated surface.
The IFS anti-microbial solution uses silver ions, which not only help to inhibit the growth of microbes, but as silver is a naturally occurring element, are also environmentally sustainable.
IFS Anti-Microbial treated powders can:
- Retain anti-microbial properties over time.
- Be used for both indoor and outdoor applications.
- Be added to any IFS color, effect or chemistry.
- Be used on a wide range of applications including laboratories, bathrooms, hospitals, schools, child care facilities, public transit, playgrounds, handrails, fitness equipment and high use areas.
How does antimicrobial powder coating work?
• When moisture is present, IFS anti-microbial coatings release silver ions.
• Silver ions can attach themselves to a microbe’s cellular enzyme which inhibits the growth of microbes.
Anti-microbial Purecoat
IFS Purecoat is the IFS range of high quality clear coats. IFS anti-microbial treated powder coatings are put through strict, premium testing and achieve excellent test results. IFS anti-microbial powders pass ISO22196 and JIS Z 2801 testing standards for efficacy.
The powder coating’s antimicrobial finish product treatment successfully kills mildew causing microbes on the coating, according to laboratory studies. IFS anti-microbial Purecoat clears also boast excellent UV resistance, performing to BHMA specifications.
