PPG Antimicrobial Paint Used to Protect School System Against SARS-Cov 2 and Other Bacteria, Viruses

In November 2020, materials science company Corning Incorporated announced that under test methods approved by the Environmental Protection Agency, paints and coatings with the company’s glass-ceramic technology had shown to kill more than 99.9% of SARS-CoV-2.

At the time, Corning also announced that it was working with PPG to develop paint products containing Corning Guardiant that meet governmental and regulatory requirements and seek  EPA registration. In October 2021, PPG received EPA registration for its Copper Armor antimicrobial paint. PPG reported began selling the zero-volatile organic compound paint in late 2021 through U.S. PPG Paints stores, independent retailers and select home improvement stores. The Copper Armor also provides a mold- and mildew-resistant coating on the dry paint film.

Last month, PPG shared that it had applied its Copper Armor coating to schools operating under the Northside Independent School District (NISD) in south Texas. NISD launched the initial phase of this antibacterial and antiviral renovation project during the summer of 2022.
