How does it work? Microban® protection is built-in to products during manufacture. It will not wash or wear out and is designed to last for the useful lifetime of the product. Once built-in,
Microban® active ingredients begin to neutralize the ability of microbes to function, grow and reproduce. Because the active ingredients are uniformly dispersed, the benefits of a built-in antimicrobial are present and effective throughout the product. |
What makes this product different from products with ordinary disinfectant qualities? Disinfectants provide a nearly instant, but short-term solution to the threat and inconvenience of microbes while the Built-In
protection offered by the Microban® brand provides long-lasting action, working continuously to inhibit microbe growth. Microban® Built-In Protection does not eliminate the need for disinfectants, but it does provide an added line of defense against microbes in
between regular cleanings. |
Where can I use it? Premium Kitchen & Bath can be applied to most surfaces in any areas of homes, commercial or industrial buildings that require paints with maximum moisture and
mildew resistance. |
|
|
Residential & Commerical Applications might include... |
- Kitchens
- Baths
- Basement Walls
- Hospitals
- Day-Care / Extended Care Centers
...and any environment where cleanliness is a top priority. |
Any other benefits? Yes. This is an all acrylic product that in itself is self-priming. Therefore you need only apply two coats to your surface. No other priming
method is required. |
How about coverage? The manufacturer states coverage rates as follows; Smooth surfaces 400 - 450 sq ft per gallon. Porous surfaces 200 - 300 sq ft per
gallon. Application volume by spray is approx. 50%. |
