Discover the possibilities of antimicrobial coatings
On high touch surfaces in public and private spaces, standard cleaning procedures alone may not be enough to keep up with the rate at which bacteria can multiply. These surfaces can be breeding grounds for bacteria, mold, and mildew. Traditional cleaning methods often fall short in properly removing these unwanted microorganisms which can lead to more complex issues such as odors and product degradation.
These challenges have led to the innovation of antimicrobial coatings as a promising solution. Antimicrobial coatings are designed to prevent the growth of these harmful microbes on the product surface and offer a more proactive approach to cleanliness to accompany traditional surface cleaning methods.
What are antimicrobial coatings?
An antimicrobial coating is a coating that contains an active ingredient, inhibiting the growth of bacteria and fungi. These coatings are available in multiple formulations to suit your applications or preferences
Benefits of antimicrobial coatings include:
- Increased product longevity – preventing microbial degradation extends the lifespan of the product
- Active 24/7 – antimicrobial coating remains active for the usable lifespan of the product
- Improved maintenance – easier to keep clean
