First BioCote formulated paint

Sheffield Insulations is introducing the antibacterial paint, Inducoat B2, to the professional trade through its branch network, allowing contractors and their clients the opportunity to create cleaner, safer and more hygienic environments.

The paint contains BioCote antibacterial protection which helps stop the growth of bacteria and mould on walls, ceilings and partitions. Elaine Gardner, product manager at Sheffield Insulations, said: “We supply very large volumes of drywall materials to major UK contractors working on numerous infrastructure projects, including hospitals and schools. Making the B2 paint available through our branches is a natural extension to our already comprehensive offer for this important sector.”

B2 paint is manufactured by Dutch paint specialist Inducoat BV, which has over 40 years’ experience in antimicrobial coatings. The paint is reportedly the first to be formulated with BioCote silver ion technology thus providing continuous resistance to bacteria and mould.
