uniCLER Anti-Microbial Technology

uniCLER antimicrobial coating technology by Universal Chemicals & Coatings, Inc., UNICHEM, brings surface sanitation to a new level.

Antimicrobial Coatings

Antimicrobial coating and paint additives contain an antimicrobial agent that creates a surface coating resistant to fungal and bacterial growth. Microbes can increase at a rapid rate once landing on a non-treated surface, which can lead to the spread of harmful pathogens and may also cause premature product degradation including odor and staining. Once microbes infiltrate a painted surface, it can be challenging to control continued growth even with constant cleaning.

Applying an antimicrobial chemical agent to surface coatings can prevent the growth of disease-causing pathogens while providing additional benefits to the product surface. Preventing microorganism growth improves the appearance, durability and corrosion resistance of surfaces. UNICHEM offers uniCLER antimicrobial coating technology which can be incorporated into a variety of our coatings and is proven to provide long-term antimicrobial performance for the service life of the coating.

  • Flexlain® Polyester Coating Technologies

    The UNICHEM scientific team prides itself in having the ability to maximize performance using this technology, keeping your economics in line while achieving higher levels of the performance you need. If your products have been served well using polyester technology, but you are looking for a better, more consistent, or higher-performing solution, UNICHEM’s Flexlain Technology might be just what you are looking for.


    When performance demands excel, and requirements are more extreme, polyester coatings may not provide adequate long-term performance, which is where other coatings systems may be better suited. If that is the case, we invite you to take a closer look at our other coatings systems throughout our website or, better yet, to see if UNICHEM’s Flexlain Technology is the right solution for you, please contact us.

Antimicrobial Coatings Improve Health in Many Environments

Harmful pathogens are spread on surfaces and in the air in many environments such as commercial and public areas including hospitals, schools and places of business. Even in areas where continual sanitation is a top priority such as in healthcare facilities, constant cleaning to eradicate harmful microorganisms is not practical or effective. The best weapon against harmful pathogen growth is preventing the spread of infection in the first place with antimicrobial coating technology.

UNICHEM’s uniCLER technology can be added to many paints and coatings in a multitude of environments to provide built-in protection against the spread of harmful germs. Our antimicrobial technology can improve health and prevent infection when used in many applications such as:

HVAC ductwork – eliminate growth and accumulation of bacteria and other microbes from being transmitted through air exchange

Healthcare – treat commonly touched surfaces such as walls, handrails, light switches and hospital beds

Commercial – protect employees and the public with antimicrobial coatings on surfaces such as escalator handrails, elevator buttons, kiosk screens, etc…

Antimicrobial coating technology improves these and many additional applications such as consumer goods and building products with protection against bacteria, mold and mildew. UNICHEM’s antimicrobial technology is certified as an effective antimicrobial against a broad range of bacteria by independent laboratories.
