Microban has been spotlighted in Building Enclosure Magazine for its forward-thinking insights into how protective coatings are reshaping the construction industry.
The article, “The Evolving Role of Protective Coatings in Modern Building Envelopes,” written by James Rapley, Liquid Formulations Engineer at Microban International, explores the growing need for multifunctional coatings—a shift from reactive problem-solving to proactive building design. As architects and manufacturers face rising demands for durability, sustainability, and performance, coatings are being reconsidered not just as surface finishes but as foundational tools that will shape the future of durable building design.
A major focus of the article is the development of scalable and simplified coating formulations that deliver multiple benefits without adding complexity. Microban's AkoTech coating platform exemplifies this approach, integrating antimicrobial protection, water and oil repellency, UV stability, and more, directly into coating systems. This innovation supports the creation of high-performance materials that can better withstand environmental challenges while enhancing surface longevity.
