Trusted Paint Testing Partner in the UAE
Microbiological testing is a critical part of quality assurance for paints, especially water-based formulations that are more susceptible to microbial contamination. During production, storage, or application, paints can become breeding grounds for bacteria, fungi, and molds, leading to product spoilage, unpleasant odors, discoloration, shortened shelf life, reduced performance
Beyond affecting product quality, microbial contamination can pose health risks and cause long-term damage to painted surfaces. At METS Lab, we offer specialized testing for paints with antimicrobial properties to ensure they meet industry standards and perform reliably in real-world conditions.
What Is Microbiological Testing in Paints?
Microbiological testing in paints involves the analysis of paint formulations and dried films for resistance to microbial growth, including bacteria, fungi (mold and mildew), and algae. Paints, especially those used in humid or high-moisture environments, are prone to microbial contamination that can lead to product degradation, surface discoloration, foul odors, and reduced performance.
This type of testing is critical for ensuring that paints and coatings maintain their integrity, durability, and appearance over time, particularly in sectors such as construction, healthcare, food facilities, marine environments, and interior coatings.
