WINDPOL ABCT and WINDPOX ABCT

In the IRIS powder paint family, COLORWIND, we present the Windpol ABCT and Windpox ABCT line. These lines have powder coating products, formulated with polyester resins and without TGIC. These products are characterized by being able to inhibit the development of bacteria and mould on the coated surfaces (according to tests carried out in accordance with ISO 22196)..

For this reason, Windpol ABCT and Windpox ABCT are considered to be treated articles suitable for inhibiting the growth of bacteria on the surfaces where these products are applied. Due to its characteristics, the Windpox line is only recommended for interiors; Windpol, on the other hand, can be used both indoors and outdoors.

It is recommended for applications in hospitals, medical equipment, operating theatres, etc., where high microbiological purity is required. In addition to its inhibiting characteristic, it has excellent outdoor durability and good chemical properties, so it is also recommended for outdoor applications in outdoor furniture, road signs, car accessories, bicycles, etc.

These paints, whose main function is to protect the surfaces on which they are applied, also inhibit the growth of bacteria (due to the active ingredient they contain), and prevent the development of pathogens on those surfaces: mould, bacteria and fungi. This action is based on silver ions used as antiseptics. In addition, the unique formula of the additive means that the paint maintains its properties for a long period of time.

Windpol ABCT has been tested for its properties with ISO 22196. The test involves applying a known number of bacteria cultures to the tested surface and incubating it for 24 hours at a temperature of 37 degrees. After this time, the residual amount of bacteria per area is counted, giving the result obtained and proving its effectiveness.

It should also be noted that the Windpox ABCT line has the same characteristics, although as mentioned above, its use is only recommended for interiors (suitable for office furniture, luminaires, shelves, interior decoration pieces etc).
