ANTIMICROBIAL AGENT FOR COATING COMPOSITION

摘要

A microbe-resistant coating composition or paint including an antimicrobial agent is described. The antimicrobial agent is an inorganic bismuth-containing compound, and may be used in conjunction with other bismuth-containing compounds or other biocidal agents or methods. A method of treating an electrodeposition system for bacterial and/or fungal contamination is also described by adding an antimicrobial agent to at least a portion of the electrodeposition system.
