FAQ's
General Product Questions
What is antimicrobial whiteboard paint?
Smarter Surfaces' antimicrobial whiteboard paint is an innovative product designed to inhibit bacterial proliferation on the whiteboard surface. It uses advanced silver ion antimicrobial technology to:
- Interrupt bacteria and fungi cell metabolism
- Inhibit cellular division
- Disrupts ransport across cell walls
Basically it stops the bacteria from multiplying by stopping the membrane around the cell (like the skin of the cell) from working. Antimicrobial whiteboard paint is a great solution where many people and teams will use the whiteboard paint and creating a safe working surface is a consideration.
Antimicrobial vs Antibacterial vs Antiviral. What’s the difference between antimicrobial, antibacterial and antiviral?
All bacteria are microbes, however not all microbes are bacteria.
Antimicrobials can refer to agents that deal with fungi and other microbes as well as bacteria. Antibacterial agents will only deal with bacteria. They are both different from antiviral agents.
Antiviral is specifically for things such as COVID-19, which are a different type of cell. The main difference being that the viruses tend to have a fatty surround, so in order to kill viruses you often have a two-part process where you basically have to get through the fatty part to get to the virus itself.
What does Antimicrobial Whiteboard Paint work against?
Our antimicrobial paint will work against: MRSA, MSSA, Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Does Antimicrobial whiteboard paint have certification?
Antimicrobial Whiteboard Paint is independently certified to ISO 22196 to kill bacteria such as MRSA, MSSA, Salmonella, Ecolia and Fungai.
What is considered antibacterial? What are antibacterial agents?
An antibacterial agent is anything that destroys bacteria or suppresses their growth or their ability to reproduce. Antibacterial agents will only work against bacteria but will not be effective against viruses or fungi such as MRSA, MSSA, or Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Is White Antimicrobial Whiteboard Paint compatible with all surface types?
Antimicrobial Whiteboard Paint can be applied to a wide range of smooth surfaces, including glass, metal, concrete, and wood. Priming the surface with White Primer or a high-quality water-based white primer is essential. The paint is not recommended over white surfaces, as it may result in discolouration.
Can an existing whiteboard be refinished with Antimicrobial Whiteboard Paint?
Yes, Antimicrobial Whiteboard Paint is ideal for refurbishing existing whiteboards. After thoroughly cleaning the surface of all marker residues, apply White Primer before painting. For blackboards, clean the surface with a damp cloth to remove chalk, apply White Primer, and then apply the antimicrobial whiteboard paint.

Can antimicrobial whiteboard paint be applied to floors?
Antimicrobial Whiteboard Paint is not designed for use on floors, as it has not been tested for slip resistance. Also, the finish may wear over time due to foot traffic. The product is guaranteed only for use as a dry-erase surface.
What type of heating device can accelerate the drying of the primer? Can an infrared lamp be utilized?
A standard fan heater is recommended for speeding the primer’s drying process. An infrared lamp can also be used. Note that it should not be positioned too close to the surface and ensure there is no dust being circulated by the fan heater.
Can you paint over antimicrobial whiteboard paint?
In most cases, yes, you can paint over antimicrobial whiteboard paint. However, it's important to ensure proper adhesion and compatibility between the existing antimicrobial whiteboard paint and the new paint.
Can permanent markers be used on Antimicrobial Whiteboard Paint?

Surface Prep & Priming
Why is primer necessary before applying Antimicrobial Whiteboard Paint?
Primers serve two key functions: they create a smooth finish and act as a sealant. When a primer is used, the antimicrobial whiteboard paint adheres effectively to the surface rather than being absorbed, resulting in a smoother surface with optimal write-on and wipe-off performance.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Is alcohol suitable for cleaning Antimicrobial Whiteboard Paint surfaces?
The continued use of alcohol on Antimicrobial Whiteboard Paint surfaces may compromise the surface's integrity and performance. Instead, the use of specially designed cleaning products, available from our product range, is recommended to ensure effective cleaning and the maintenance of surface quality.
How can permanent markers be removed from the surface?
To remove permanent marker ink, trace over the markings with a whiteboard marker to rehydrate the ink. Wait two minutes before wiping it off. If this method proves ineffective, apply Permanent Ink Remover, a specialized cleaning product designed for stubborn stains and ghosting on whiteboard surfaces.
Functionality & Performance

Antimicrobial Whiteboard Paint is UV-resistant and maintains its colour integrity even in extreme heat, making it suitable for use where it will be exposed to high levels of UV light.
What causes shadows or large marks on the surface?
Shadows or significant marks may arise from improper application or overextension of the paint beyond the area specified in the product kit. Adherence to the Antimicrobial Whiteboard Paint application guide is essential. The paint is formulated to cover a specific area and should not be stretched to cover a larger surface.
