06 Oct 2022 --- Microban International is launching LapisShield, a non-heavy-metal technology designed to integrate antimicrobial functionality into water-based coating formulation. The technology inhibits bacterial growth by up to 99.99%, preventing the formation of mold and mildew, protecting treated surfaces from microbial degradation. Michael Ruby, president at Microban International, says “our coatings experts have worked to deliver a more environmentally-friendly technology that offers the best quality and compatibility for water-based coating systems.” “The stability and clarity of LapisShield allow 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.”
