Microban International presents LapisShield™, a novel, non-heavy-metal technology designed to seamlessly integrate antimicrobial functionality into any water-based coating formulation.
The broad-spectrum antimicrobial technology is proven to inhibit bacterial growth by up to 99.99 %, and prevent the growth of mold and mildew, helping to protect treated surfaces from various sources of microbial degradation.
Sustainable Solution to Inhibit Microbial Growth
LapisShield™ is the newest coatings innovation from the leader in antimicrobial technologies, demonstrating the company’s continuing drive to deliver more sustainable solutions to deter microbial growth.
With this state-of-the-art technology, manufacturers can enhance their coatings with the power of product protection against the detrimental effects of microbes, including stains, odors and premature degradation, extending the lifetime of coated products.
LapisShield™ offers superior quality and stability by optimizing processing and manufacturing requirements. It also allows coating batches to be stored for future use, preventing unnecessary waste and optimizing resources for more sustainable coatings manufacturing.
LapisShield™ is specifically designed to meet the needs of the water-based coatings industry, a sector that is constantly striving for clearer and more environmentally friendly systems that create a seamless finish.
Compatible with Thin Coating Systems
The ground-breaking technology is compatible with thin coating systems and offers enhanced UV stability, limiting impacts on the optical properties of water-based coatings and making them ideal for transparent glass or plastic applications.
Michael Ruby, president at Microban International, commented, “
We are excited to introduce LapisShield™ as the latest example of Microban’s commitment to developing sustainable, non-heavy metal antimicrobial technologies for its partners worldwide.”
“
Our coatings experts have worked tirelessly to deliver a more environmentally friendly technology that offers the best quality and compatibility for water-based coating systems,” stated Ruby.
“
The fantastic stability and clarity of LapisShield™ allows it to be easily integrated with a wide variety of coatings systems, including anti-fingerprint and anti-smudge formulations, and applications requiring optically clear performance,” added Ruby.
