Abstract
Disclosed is an aqueous coating composition comprising: (a) water, (b) a base medium, (c) a pyrithione salt, in an amount of from 0.01% to 2.0% based upon the weight of the composition, and (d) zinc oxide compound selected from the many grades suitable for paint manufacture at a concentration of from 0.001% to 10% based upon the weight of the coating composition. Also disclosed is an aqueous antimicrobial coating composition, characterized by antimildew efficacy and protected against discoloration attributable to the presence of pyrithione therein, said composition being selected from the group consisting of water-based paints, adhesives, caulks and sealants, and combinations thereof, said composition comprising water, a pyrithione salt or acid, an organic base medium and a zinc compound, said zinc ion being present in said composition in an amount of from 0.001% to 10% based upon the weight of the coating composition.
