DuPont Europe chooses Agion as antimicrobial agent for Alesta powder coatings

Designed for areas where cleanliness is critical, Alesta AM powder coatings with Agion’s silver antimicrobial compound combat the growth of problematic microbes, such as bacteria, fungi, yeast, mould and mildew.

“Consumer awareness and demand for antimicrobial solutions is at an all-time high,” said Werner M. Boeykens, market manager of DuPont CoatingSolutions Europe, Middle East & Africa. “Working with Agion, we have created a product that offers true differentiation in applications such as public transportation, child and healthcare, HVAC, appliances, and architectural and construction products.”

Agion is built directly into products, enabling a self-cleaning surface that provides continuous product protection from microbes and maintains efficacy for the life of the product. Designed for controlled release, silver ions are slowly and continually released from the treated surface and designed to last for the life of the coating.
