Antibacterial agents will only deal with bacteria. They are both different from antiviral agents.<br /><br />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.</div></div> </div> <meta itemprop="position" content="2"> </div> </div><div itemprop="mainEntity" itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question"> <button class="faqs-accordion" itemprop="name">How does antimicrobial/antibacterial paint work?</button> <div itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer" class="faqspanel"> <div itemprop="text"> <div class="faqsp"> <div class="faqs-content">Antimicrobial paint contains certain agents that destroy or inhibit the growth of microorganisms, especially those that are pathogenic.<br /><br />Our antibacterial paint uses broad spectrum antimicrobial technology that is effective against gram positive and gram negative bacteria.
