Preventing microbial damage of paint

Abstract

The Paint Research Association reports that despite the good hygiene practised in most paint factories microbial contamination occasionally occurs. This can cause thinning, gassing or malodour in aqueous paints rendering them unsaleable. The cost of paint raw materials is rising faster than the general rate of inflation and the cost of a spoilt batch is a serious matter for paintmakers.
