Michael Ruby, President of 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. This 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. 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. It also allows coating batches to be stored for future use, preventing unnecessary waste and optimizing resources for more sustainable coatings manufacturing. LapisShield offers superior quality and stability by optimizing processing and manufacturing requirements. 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 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. LapisShield a non-heavy-metal antimicrobial technology inhibits bacterial growth by up to 99.99 %
