An antimicrobial coating additive lets paint and coating manufacturers build hygiene protection directly into the products they already make. The VireXbuster Additive 1 Ltr is the production-scale version of our liquid concentrate: one litre of a hybrid formulation with a very wide spectrum of activity against virus, bacteria, fungi, mold, and mildew, designed to be blended into transparent or pigmented coatings for hard and soft surfaces.
Where our 0.1 kg size is aimed at testing and small custom jobs, the 1-litre bottle is made for professionals who are ready to run real batches. This guide explains who it is for, how it fits into a coatings workflow, and what to check before you scale up.
What is the VireXbuster Additive 1 Ltr?
It is a liquid concentrate, not a finished paint. You add it to a compatible base during mixing, and the protection becomes part of the cured film instead of sitting on top as a separate layer. Once the coating dries, every square metre painted with it carries the same built-in antimicrobial property.
The bottle is intended for professional use. It is supplied with technical and safety data sheets so your lab and production teams can work from documented handling guidance.
Who the 1-litre size is for
- Paint and coatings manufacturers adding a hygiene-focused line to an existing range.
- Private-label and specialty formulators building clear lacquers, varnishes, or topcoats for high-touch surfaces.
- Industrial applicators who mix their own coatings for transport interiors, retail fit-outs, or public buildings.
- Distributors who want to offer an upgrade option to their own coating customers.
Why use an antimicrobial coating additive instead of a spray?
Our ready-to-use VireXbuster Spray is the right choice for treating surfaces that already exist. The additive solves a different problem: it lets a manufacturer ship a coating that is antimicrobial from the moment it leaves the factory. That means one application step for the end customer, a clear product differentiator for you, and a single spec sheet to hand to architects and facility buyers.
Typical applications
- Clear protective coatings for handrails, counters, and door furniture
- Coatings for public transport interiors, ATMs, and self-service terminals
- Topcoats for furniture and fittings in clinics, dental practices, and offices
- Specialty finishes for shopping centres and other high-footfall spaces
If you work with plastics rather than liquid coatings, look at VireXbuster 4Bulk, our additive for polymer processing and polymer floors.
Scaling your antimicrobial coating additive from trial to production
- Run a compatibility trial. Start with a small batch of your base coating and confirm mixing, appearance, and curing behaviour.
- Lock the dosage with our team. Contact us for formulation guidance matched to your binder system.
- Validate the finished film. Test the cured coating to your own quality standards before release.
- Scale up. Move to the 1-litre bottle for production runs and repeat orders.
Tested and certified

Frequently asked questions
What is an antimicrobial coating additive?
It is a concentrate you mix into a paint or coating during production so the finished, cured film carries built-in antimicrobial protection. The VireXbuster Additive uses a hybrid formulation with a very wide spectrum of activity against virus, bacteria, fungi, mold, and mildew.
What is the difference between the 0.1 kg and the 1-litre additive?
The formulation serves the same purpose. The 0.1 kg size suits trials and small custom jobs; the 1-litre bottle is intended for manufacturers and professionals running production batches.
Can I use it in any coating?
It is designed for sprayable, transparent coatings on hard and soft surfaces, but every binder system is different. Always run a compatibility trial and ask our team for formulation guidance first.
