Product description
Dual-component antibacterial epoxy paint (part 1 + part 2), thinned in water, for a cleaner, safer and
more hygienic environment.
The paint was developed together with the British company Biocot Ltd., a global leader in the field.
Cleanliness and hygiene
The product is based on silver ion technology that reduces the development of microbes and a wide
spectrum of microorganisms by 99.9%. The product remains effective for the entire lifetime of the
product at the same level of effectiveness as the day it was applied. This extraordinary quality
reduces the risk of bacterial transfer from one place to another and reduces the odors resulting from
decomposition of organic matter.
The active ingredients do not “sweat” to the surface, the product does not pose any sort of hazard
and is safe for use.
Code
The product was tested by Industrial Microbiological Services Ltd. (IMSL) on the basis of the ISO
22196:2007 standard to test antibacterial activity on E. Coli and MRSA.
Suggested uses
The paint is suitable for applying to walls of public buildings where bacterial contamination and mold
development are a factor, such as:
hospitals,
industrial kitchens,
slaughter houses,
packing plants,
the food service industry,
parking garage walls,
sterile rooms.

For applying to existing acrylic paint:
Make sure surface is free of dust, dirt, grease and any loose particles. Gentle abrasion of existing

Walls, concrete floors in residential parking garages (medium traffic) and stable plaster:
Mechanical roughening and removal of all loose particles, laitance and impurities until the original,
stable concrete surface is exposed. Apply primer of binding Aquapoxy M15 thinned 10-15% at
