Redefining Surface Protection. One Coat at a Time. With Intercoat Antimicrobial Paint.

At Intercoat, we are dedicated to providing innovative, high-performance coatings that not only enhance the appearance and longevity of surfaces but also safeguard against harmful microbes. Our range of industrial paints, powered by cutting-edge antimicrobial silver ion technology, offers a comprehensive solution for businesses and facilities seeking the highest standard of hygiene, durability, and aesthetics.

The Power of Antimicrobial Silver Ion Technology

Silver has been recognised for its antimicrobial properties for centuries. Today, we have harnessed this powerful natural element and combined it with advanced coating technology to create a paint that goes beyond traditional protection methods. Our antimicrobial silver ion technology works by continuously releasing silver ions that disrupt the cellular processes of bacteria, viruses, mold, and mildew, effectively inhibiting their growth and reproduction on painted surfaces.

This technology is embedded into the paint at a molecular level, ensuring that its antimicrobial properties remain active and effective throughout the entire lifecycle of the coated surface. Unlike other antimicrobial solutions that may wash or wear off over time, the silver ions in our paint continue to provide consistent and long-lasting protection.

Unmatched Antimicrobial Protection

Our paints are specifically formulated to offer superior protection against a wide range of harmful microbes, including E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella. By choosing Intercoat, you can significantly reduce the risk of microbial contamination on surfaces, ensuring a cleaner and safer environment for employees, customers, and visitors

Durable and Long-Lasting Finish

Designed to withstand the toughest and extreme conditions, Intercoat industrial paints offer exceptional durability and resistance to abrasion, chemicals, moisture, and extreme temperatures. This makes them ideal for a variety of industrial applications, from manufacturing facilities and warehouses to healthcare environments and food processing plants

Enhanced Surface Hygiene

The antimicrobial properties of our paints help maintain a more hygienic environment by preventing the growth and spread of bacteria, mold, and mildew. This is particularly important in high-touch areas where regular cleaning may not be sufficient to prevent microbial build-up. With Intercoat, you can ensure that your surfaces remain cleaner, fresher, and safer for longer periods.

Eco-Friendly and Sustainable

At Intercoat, we are committed to sustainability. Our antimicrobial paints are formulated with low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making them safer for both the environment and the people applying them. Additionally, our products are designed to minimize waste and reduce the need for frequent repaints, contributing to a lower environmental impact over time.

Applications Across Industries

Intercoat antimicrobial paints are versatile and suitable for a wide range of industries and environments. Here are just a few examples of where our products can make a significant difference:

How Our Antimicrobial Technology Works

Intercoat’s antimicrobial technology leverages the natural properties of silver ions. When bacteria, mold, or mildew come into contact with a painted surface, the silver ions penetrate their cell walls, disrupting their DNA and preventing replication. This mode of action effectively neutralizes the microbes, making it impossible for them to grow and spread.


The Science Behind Silver: Safe and Proven

The use of silver as an antimicrobial agent is well-documented in both historical and scientific literature. Unlike some chemical disinfectants, silver ions are non-toxic and safe for human contact, making them an ideal choice for environments where people live, work, and play. Furthermore, silver is less likely to contribute to microbial resistance compared to other antimicrobial agents, providing a sustainable long-term solution for hygiene and safety.
