The concept that anti-microbial surfaces kill viruses and ALL bacteria is a myth. They do kill many microbes, however, viruses are not microbes. Our friends at Benjamin Moore explain that these claims by manufacturers are not always 100% accurate.
Many paint manufacturers have LOW or NO VOC base paint. That is until the tint is added that has VOCs in them. Some paint manufacturers such as Benjamin Moore have found a way to fix this issue by developing all of the tints in-house. Some paint manufacturers still use 3rd party tinting so cannot make this claim.
