CaliwelTM with BNA solves the problems caused by odor-causing bacteria, mold, mildew, algae and fungi, which can cause deterioration and discoloration on surface coating films. CaliwelTM is composed of a revolutionary multi-patented, semi-permeable, micro-encapsulated formula representing a breakthrough in modern antimicrobial* science.
CaliwelTM's mode of action, BNA (Bi-Neutralizing Agent) utilizes calcium hydroxide, a naturally occurring antimicrobial* mineral. In its micro-encapsulated form, BNA is effective against common micro-organisms that can stain and discolor coating surfaces. CaliwelTM creates a reactive film that inhibits the microbial growth long after it is applied. This is especially important where the presence of such microorganisms on dried surface coating is undesirable or harmful to the surface film. CaliwelTM attacks microbes that can be present on dried films with its highly alkaline microbe-destructive active ingredient.
To date, Alistagen has developed and commercialized the following Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registered biocidal Smart coating (paint) product lines:
• Caliwel™ with BNA Antimicrobial Coating: A revolutionary anti-microbial surface coating that has a variety of applications in the architectural interior coating market and is the ideal solution for recurrent mold, mildew, fungi, bacteria and algae growth on surfaces.

Description of Active Ingredient
CaliwelTM with BNA utilizes Calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2, as its active ingredient. Calcium hydroxide has numerous commercial applications. It is an important component in pharmaceutical and dental products, supplements, as well as in the dairy, sugar and baking industries.
Calcium hydroxide, also known as hydrated lime, is a naturally highly alkaline mineral that has been used for centuries as a germ-fighting agent in hospitals, and in other commercial or domestic environments. Its antimicrobial* effectiveness is caused by increasing the pH, or alkalinity, to a level that is fatal to microorganisms. Click here for more information about lime.
Normally, calcium hydroxide loses its effectiveness against microbes upon exposure to air. CaliwelTM's BNA patented microencapsulation process safely transforms and stabilizes the effective properties of calcium hydroxide and preserves its natural anti-microbial potency while resisting degradation long after it has been applied.
