Abstract: Metal free antimicrobial and UV protection additives, which can be used in building or finishing materials, such as plasters, mortars, primers, paints and other protective or decorative coatings to eliminate growth of bacteria, fungi, algae and lichen and to protect material from ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The additive having mixed organophilic layer illite-smectite, chlorite, illite, carbonates, silica and hematite with the following ratio of the components (weight %): mixed layer organophilic illite-smectite from 40 to 70%; chlorite from 5 to 10%; illite from 5 to 10%; carbonates from 0 to 20%; silica from 5 to 20%; hematite from 0 to 3%. The mixed layer illite-smectite is organophilized with quaternary ammonium compounds used in the amount from 10 to 30% counting from the required weight of the mixed layer organophilic illite-smectite.
