Microban and Taubmans work together to deliver a range of decorative paints with built-in antimicrobial protection. Microban technology is engineered into the molecular structure of the paint, actively inhibiting bacteria, mould, and mildew growth on surfaces where the paint is applied.
How Does Microban Antimicrobial Technology Work?
The antimicrobial technology penetrates the cell wall of the microbe and continuously disrupts key cell functions so that the microbe cannot function, grow, or reproduce on the treated surface. By creating an inhospitable environment for microorganisms like bacteria, mould, and mildew, built-in antimicrobial technology protects the painted surface from staining, bad odours, and premature degradation.
