  • ANTIMICROBIAL AGENT FOR COATING COMPOSITION
    Publication number: 20240043702
    Abstract: A microbe-resistant coating composition or paint including an antimicrobial agent is described. The antimicrobial agent is an inorganic bismuth-containing compound, and may be used in conjunction with other bismuth-containing compounds or other biocidal agents or methods. A method of treating an electrodeposition system for bacterial and/or fungal contamination is also described by adding an antimicrobial agent to at least a portion of the electrodeposition system.

  • COATING WITH IMPROVED SOLAR REFLECTANCE
    Publication number: 20230303855
    Abstract: The present description provides a single layer coating system applied on a substrate, wherein the coating system demonstrates increased total solar reflectance, and thereby prevents increase in temperature of one or more interior spaces defined by the substrate. The coating system described herein may be used as a “cool coating.” The coating compositions described herein use a combination of pigments that are reflective and transparent in the near infrared (NIR) region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

  • Antimicrobial agent for coatings and finishes
    Patent number: 11634594
    Abstract: A microbe-resistant coating, coating intermediate, finish, finish intermediate, or colorant that includes an antimicrobial agent. The antimicrobial agent is an inorganic bismuth-containing compound, and may be used in conjunction with other bismuth-containing compounds or other biocidal agents or methods. The bismuth-containing compound may also be used to impart micro-resistance to a coating, coating intermediate, finish, finish intermediate, colorant, processing equipment or vessels.
