With 50 years of leadership in high-performance industrial coating technology and 25 years of specialized expertise in coatings for the food-processing industry, BURKE brings both time-tested experience and cutting-edge innovation to our Antimicrobial Coating.
The key to the BURKE Antimicrobial coating efficacy is the inclusion of Agion® Antimicrobial Technology within the epoxy. Agion was engineered to release its antimicrobial capabilities only in the presence of harmful microbes. When the surface of the epoxy is dry and clean, Agion particles are inactive. But in the presence of bacteria and microbes, Agion activates and the silver, copper, and zinc elements attack and kill the contaminants leaving the surface germ-free.

Both the coating’s design and its testing criteria reflect BURKE’s recognition of the need for a “broad-brush” solution to microbial contamination in human and environmental situations making one thing clear…

SILVER BULLET AM™ – LONG TERM SOLUTION

Silver Bullet AM™ is water-based and VOC-compliant, formulated for long-term performance in todays challenging indoor settings. A high-gloss, highly durable epoxy, available in clear, white and black. It can be applied with ease to wood, metal and concrete surfaces, dries within a few hours (20-60 minutes tack-free) and cures completely within a week.
Microbial efficacy can be measured
within hours of application.
Silver Bullet AM silver content, damages microbes at a genetic level, ending their reproductive capacities; and it performs this action on as many as 650 different microbes that endanger human health. It can be directly applied to sensitive surfaces. Like any silver bullet, it is not a comprehensive solution for every contamination problem. But the simplicity with which it can be introduced into a contaminated situation, and its record of effectiveness on dangerous microbes (including E.coli, salmonella, listeria, legionella, types of pneumonia) has a one-and-done approach that addresses the most dreaded part of microbial infestation: multi-drug-resistant modification of the original organism. Silver Bullet AM stands strong against both destructive microbiological attacks and the assaults of strong corrosive cleaners, protecting surfaces and making them safe for human contact.

Long used as an anti-bacterial agent in surgical and medical instruments, silver ions imbedded in paints and epoxies bring the same microbe killing power to virtually every surface in a building and facility. Any surface including, the internal components of mechanical systems, can be coated with Silver Bullet AM to provide long-lasting protection against germs, viruses, and molds. Contact BURKE Industrial Coatings for a consultation on how Silver Bullet AM can be applied in your facility.

Uses for Silver Bullet AM also include areas with the potential for mold and mildew growth such as within HVAC duct systems. In facilities with dense people loads such as gyms, schools, or churches ASHRAE 62 compliance demands a high percentage of outside air be brought into the HVAC system. Silver Bullet AM provides microbial protection inside the duct system, within the cooling equipment, and when surfaces in the fitness center like floors, walls, ceiling, and equipment are coated with Silver Bullet AM the risk of mold growth in the gym itself is further mitigated. The silver epoxy provides multiple layers of protection for gym users and employees.
