Looking for a metal-free antimicrobial additive?

While metals are an excellent option when it comes to built-in antimicrobial protection, we could be in a situation where an alternative solution might fit as well. Some markets might have a preference for different solutions or even some particular projects could give priority to different technologies or active substances. At Laboratorios Argenol we are aware of the importance of being able to offer different choices and alternatives since we know that each project is different and is driven by an individual approach.

Consequently, we are glad to present our additive BactiBlock® 101 R1.51 that utilizes sodium-pyrithione to help inhibit bacterial growth on the treated surfaces by up to 99.99% and prevent mold and mildew growth. BactiBlock® 101 R1.51 can be easily integrated not only into water or solvent-based coatings but also in other matrix such as plastics or foams.

How does BactiBlock®  101 R1.51 works?

BactiBlock® 101 R1.51 is integrated into formulations during its manufacturing process. In particular, sodium pyrithione interfere with membrane transport ultimately leading to a loss of metabolic control. Furthermore, synergies between all the ingredients in its formulation enable to optimize the concentration of the active substance while obtaining a great protection. As a reference, for water-based coatings we should add 0.2% by weight according to ISO 22196 standard.

Main benefits BactiBlock® 101 R1.51:

  • Metal-free: The technology does not contain any metal based-chemistry and it can be considered an effective alternative to these.
  • Nano particles-free: The technology does not contain any ingredient in nano scale.
  • UV stability: High stability against UV light. Good option for exteriors.
  • Broad spectrum: effective against gram positive & gram-negative bacteria as well as fungi & yeast.
  • Versatility: Compatibility with different formulations is ensured.
  • Permanent protection: 24/7 protection.
  • BPR compliant: BactiBlock® 101 R1.51 is a PT6, PT7, PT9 & PT10 compliant antimicrobial additive.
