As construction and industry grow, it is expected that the application of antimicrobial, antifungal andantibacterial biocides will continue to rise as well. Biocides in paint allow for the prevention of the unwanted growth offungus, algae and bacteria that can be extremely destructive to painted surfaces. The outstanding properties ofnanoparticles have enhanced the way in which a number of industries around the world operate. With regards to thepaint and coatings industry, researchers believe that nanoparticles can improve the hardening, UV-light absorption andbiocide properties tremendously. While adequate biocides are currently used in the market today, researchers expect thatthe future application of nanomaterial biocides into paints may have superior antimicrobial properties at a reduced cost.
