Bioban® O 45 Antimicrobial

Bioban® O 45 Antimicrobial previously sold as SKANETM M-8 Microbicide, is a highly effective industrial mildewcide recommended for coatings, latex and solvent based paints, semitransparent stains and solid stains, building materials including elastomeric roof and wall coatings, caulks, sealants, joint cements, spackling, stucco, and grout, wallpaper pastes and adhesives, aqueous adhesives and tackifiers, and leather. BIOBANTM O 45 antimicrobial offers effective, broad-spectrum protection against fungi (yeast and mold) in the wet state during manufacture and storage as well as dry-film protection against mold and mildew following application of the coating/building material.

Product Applications
  • The actual required concentration of Bioban® O 45 Antimicrobial Antimicrobial depends on several factors including: the climatic conditions where the paint will be applied, the level of desired performance, the type of paint produced, and the amount of zinc oxide in the formulation. The condition of the surface and number of coats applied are also significant.
  • The level of mildew protection obtained is proportional to the amount of Bioban® O 45 Antimicrobial. Up to four pounds of Bioban® O 45 Antimicrobial per hundred gallons may be used in paints used in mildew-prone areas where humid weather conditions prevail. Lower levels - such as two pounds in a primer and one pound in a topcoat - provide satisfactory performance in dryer or cooler climates.
  • When Bioban® O 45 Antimicrobial is used in conjunction with zinc oxide, which is a mildewstat, a unique performance enhancement effect on the mildew resistance of the paint occurs.
  • The final selection of levels of Bioban® O 45 Antimicrobial and zinc oxide will depend on the level of protection needed as well as formulation cost. In select areas, depending on climatic and paint surface conditions, some coatings manufacturers may elect to use BIOBAN™ O 45 Antimicrobial without zinc oxide. For maximum protection in mildew prone areas (e.g., Southeastern U.S.), the formulation may require the use of zinc oxide, along with higher levels of Bioban® O 45 Antimicrobial. Advantage should be taken of this synergism to attain the best possible cost/performance
