Antibacterial surface

The growth of microorganisms on surfaces is an undesirable effect. Microbes lead to signs of spoilage, pose a hygiene risk and impair the usefulness of objects.

An antibacterial surface prevents the formation and development of bacteria and fungal cultures. The mode of action of the antibacterial surface is based on components built into the coating, which are highly effective against microorganisms but harmless to the human organism. An aluminum silicate matrix absorbs ambient moisture, which then activates various metal ions that prevent the formation and growth of bacteria and fungal cultures. Antibacterial surfaces are used in areas such as the food, clean room and pharmaceutical industries and especially in medicine.
