Imagine a coating for your surfaces that’s like a superhero – invisible but powerful, protecting against everyday threats and keeping things clean and safe. That’s the promise of waterborne polymeric coatings with built-in antibacterial defense.
What are they?
These coatings are made from water-based polymers, meaning they’re free of harsh chemicals and solvents. They form a thin, transparent film on surfaces, providing a protective barrier against:
- Germs and bacteria: The coating disrupts the cell membranes of microbes, effectively stopping them from multiplying and spreading. This can help reduce the risk of infections and illnesses in your home or workspace.
- Stains and dirt: The smooth surface created by the coating makes it harder for dirt and grime to stick, making cleaning easier and reducing the need for harsh cleaning products.
- Scratches and wear: The coating adds a layer of protection that can help prevent scratches and other forms of wear and tear, keeping your surfaces looking pristine for longer.
What are the benefits?
- Safety: Waterborne coatings are non-toxic and safe for use around children and pets. They also emit low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making them a good choice for people with allergies or sensitivities.
- Durability: These coatings are designed to last for years, even in high-traffic areas.
- Versatility: They can be applied to a wide variety of surfaces, including countertops, floors, walls, furniture, and even electronics.
- Ease of maintenance: The smooth surface makes cleaning a breeze, often requiring just a wipe with a damp cloth.
