By Emma G. Wrigglesworth, and, Eldon W. Tate, Inhibit Coatings Ltd.

Microbial contamination on surfaces is a problematic and potentially deadly issue, particularly in high-risk settings such as healthcare, aged care, and food and beverage. In this research, we present an antimicrobial waterborne polyurethane additive that will be of interest to the coatings community due to its high compatibility with a variety of coating systems, which results in a range of highly diverse and useful applications.
