WAUWATOSA, WI -- Bostik, Inc., a world leader in specialty adhesives and installation systems for building construction, is very much aware that microbial growth on the surface of grout or below any floor-line can not only reduce aesthetics, it also can shorten the lifespan of any floor covering. Additionally, it’s a fact that with sustained, elevated building moisture conditions, bacterial and fungal growth occurs.
Bostik’s Blockade™ offers antimicrobial protection by blocking the growth of bacteria, mold or mildew. “From a building owner’s standpoint, nobody wants intrusion from bacterial growth to take place,” said Jake Stadler, Bostik’s market manager of hardwood and resilient installation systems. “That’s why Blockade™ is included in the formulations of so many Bostik installation full system products.”
