Peace of mind

BLOOM is a beautiful antibacterial paint, ideal for homes and offices, but priceless in environments where there are vulnerable children, adults or animals. It is durable, wipe clean and contains a unique additive that helps protect everyone from harmful bacteria and moulds.

Superior antibacterial protection

The unique antibacterial additive used in BLOOM was developed by the UK based Tetramass, a specialist manufacturer of bespoke additives and coatings. With many worldwide regulatory approvals, the antibacterial additive is supported by the Health & Safety Executive, Biocidal Products Regulations, Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration.

It proven effective against ALL known bacteria (even antibiotic-resistant strains) including those that cause sickness, gastroenteritis, meningitis, MRSA and salmonella.

Not all antibacterial coatings are the same

Many antibacterial coatings use silver nanoparticle technology, which is effective for a while but has been shown to migrate out of the paint, eventually leaving the surface unprotected. By contrast, the BLOOM antibacterial agent is inherent in the structure of the paint.

This means that the antimicrobial properties remain effective for as long as there is paint on the wall. It also means that you can wipe clean the painted surface without compromising its ability to kill bacteria and supress mould growth.
