This susceptibility to microbial attacks is largely due to the presence of organic matter in paints and their high moisture retention capacity. The growth of microorganisms on paints and coating can pose health risks and property damage, which in turn increase health, maintenance and repair costs.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To overcome this challenge, antimicrobial paints and coatings have been developed to avoid microbial growth and control surface contamination. These paints and coatings treated with antimicrobial agents protect the product against discoloration and material degradation, hence enhancing the shelf life of the product. However, they must be tested before marketing for validation of their efficiency against microorganisms. Paint testing laboratories offer a wide range of microbial testing services to assure that these coatings meet the required industry standards.</span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-59028ee elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default" data-id="59028ee" data-element_type="section"> <div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default"> <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1f347d7" data-id="1f347d7" data-element_type="column"> <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-956577a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="956577a" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <h2><b>International Standards for assessing the Antimicrobial activity of Paints and Coatings</b></h2> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-3e6574c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="3e6574c" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Various international standards provide test methods for evaluating the microbial resistance of paints and coatings.

it ensures that these coatings are effective in inhibiting the growth of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi and mold) that may be harmful. Testing ensures that the paints and coatings used are capable of maintaining hygienic surfaces and are uninhabitable to microbial contamination. Testing also helps prolong the life span of the product as it ensures that microbial degradation is minimized. Additionally, antimicrobial testing of paints and coatings verifies compliance with industry standards, ensuring that the product meets regulatory requirements before being marketed.</span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-71d8283 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default" data-id="71d8283" data-element_type="section"> <div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default"> <div class="elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f41935a" data-id="f41935a" data-element_type="column"> <div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-e579274 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="e579274" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <h3><b>Why Trust Coating Testing Services at MIS?</b></h3> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-8d44ee2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="8d44ee2" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At MIS, we offer a comprehensive range of antimicrobial testing services for paints and coating materials.
