FYI Sherwin Williams paints all have Microban in them

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
It's not Microban, but a different substance in the same family. I emailed the company and they confirmed that it will cause bugs to become resistant just like microban does. Even the low and zero VOC paints have it.

I've chosen to use paint like this in my bathroom, but I would never use it in my whole house, and I thought there might be other people here who would have the same feeling.

I can't wait to see what people's walls look like in 15 years. Or however long it takes for the resistant bugs to evolve, take up residence, and eat the wallboard under the paint...

And we'll probably discover that microban causes brain damage in children and houses painted before 2018 will have to be remediated.

I'm not so much worried about the wallboard, but our lungs with all that resistant mold.

Do you know if that includes all paints made by them under different names... like Dutch Boy paint?
