BIOBOND Debuts Three-Layer Antimicrobial Coating in Mexico

BIOBOND, global materials-technology firm, has officially entered the Mexican market with a three-layer antimicrobial coating system designed to strengthen hygiene, extend material lifespan, and enhance sustainability in critical spaces. The company’s arrival comes amid intensified construction and modernization across industrial parks, airports, hospitals, housing projects, and public facilities preparing for increased global activity.

The expansion follows last week’s announcement of BIOBOND’s exclusive partnership with Insumos Maez, a Bajio-based firm that will lead nationwide training, certification, and implementation of the technology. The partnership marks BIOBOND’s formal launch in the country.

“BIOBOND is a global leader in sustainable material technologies, with operations in the United States, Europe and Asia, and investments across more than 30 countries. Mexico’s ambitious infrastructure plans under President Claudia Sheinbaum, including new railways, industrial parks, housing projects and airport upgrades make this the ideal moment to introduce our technology to a market shaping the future of construction,” said Marc McConnaughey, CEO, BIOBOND.

The recent partnership announcement reinforces BIOBOND’s strategy for local expansion. “The pandemic underscored the importance of maintaining high hygiene standards in public and private spaces. With major international events approaching, such as the World Cup, ensuring safe, efficient and sustainable environments is essential,” said Marco Díaz, co-founder and CEO, Insumos Maez.

BIOBOND’s system features three specialized coatings engineered to prevent microbial growth and improve resilience in high-use environments:

• BioCoat SWaE250: A base layer that prepares surfaces and enhances adhesion

• BioCoat SSoE250: A sealing, odor-reducing intermediate layer that promotes cleaner environments

• BioCoat SUP250: A top layer providing durability and resistance to wear, chemicals and frequent cleaning, without generating microplastics.

The coatings can be applied to concrete, ceramic, wood and metal and maintain performance even after more than 500 cleaning cycles. The first layer dries to the touch in two to three hours, enabling continuous facility operations with minimal interruptions.

The system carries USDA BioPreferred and Clean Air Gold certifications and contributes to LEED v5 and Net Zero sustainability goals. Beyond health and environmental benefits, the technology can help prevent costly disruptions: a microbial outbreak in an industrial facility can lead to losses of up to US$5 million due to recalls or production halts, according to industry estimates.

“BIOBOND is working directly with construction firms and contractors across Mexico to integrate the coating system into hotel, industrial, commercial and public-sector projects. Our goal is to deliver efficient, sustainable and high-value solutions that meet the evolving needs of Mexico’s industrial and infrastructure sectors,” said Dinorah Cambuston, Country Manager, BIOBOND Mexico.
