Since its inception, the mold remediation industry has been searching for an effective antimicrobial inhibitor that offers lasting protection against fungal re-growth. One approach to a solution has been the use of anti-fouling coatings that volatilize and leach pesticides to prevent growth. Other antifouling technologies utilize heavy metals to discourage re-growth. While effective, these technologies pose questions over long term effectiveness and environmental safety.

ARS introduced our Biostatic line of antimicrobial coatings to answer the need for an effective and environmentally safe solution for long term performance from an antimicrobial inhibitor. The benefits of biostatic coatings were introduced in the late 1990's and have since become the cornerstone of ARS’s antimicrobial inhibitor program. Unlike traditional disinfectants and anti-fouling coatings, Biostat™ does not contain poisons, heavy metals, or other volatile ingredients that lose effectiveness over time. Its permanent surface bonding, residual performance, and chemical stability ensures lasting, durable protection on a broad range of treated surfaces.

As with all our antimicrobial products, our Biostat product line is EPA registered. The registration process validates product performance, product claims, and environmental safety. In addition to this important legal requirement for antimicrobial products, our Biostat formulations have undergone over 30 years of extensive independent laboratory testing. Biostat provides the assurance of validated antimicrobial performance and environmental safety.
