Antimicrobial coatings, a blend of chemicals, are used for surface appearance, durability, corrosion resistance as well as protection from harmful disease-causing microbes, or inhibit the growth of microbes on the applied surface to keep away fungi, molds, and germs. Such coatings are widely used in healthcare settings, where sanitization of the work area is of paramount importance. Antimicrobial coatings are also used in areas, such as kitchen and bathroom, which are constantly in contact with humans and can be a breeding ground for pathogens.

Antimicrobial Coatings are highly versatile and are widely used in diverse sectors such as food and packaging, electronics, construction, pharmaceuticals, etc. These protective coatings have recently gained popularity among the building and construction industry, and for good reason. These coatings can help reduce the growth of microorganisms in a building and prevent damage from ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
