THE CHALLENGE
In today’s hyper-connected world, next-generation antimicrobial surface solutions are urgently needed to curb the spread of infectious disease. Current solutions, such as chemical disinfectants and antimicrobial coatings, require frequent reapplication, degrade under routine wear and tear, and often fail to maintain consistent performance under environmental stress. For businesses operating in high-traffic settings like hospitals, transit systems, schools, and commercial spaces, this translates to increased labor costs, operational disruptions, and heightened risk of pathogen transmission. There is a need for a cost-effective, durable, and scalable antimicrobial technology that balances technical factors like surface porosity, wettability, and active layer diffusion with practical concerns such as transparency, abrasion resistance, and ease of integration into existing infrastructure.
OUR SOLUTION
We offer an advanced antimicrobial film and coating technology designed to provide rapid, long-lasting protection against viruses, bacteria, and fungi on high-touch surfaces. By embedding metal or metal oxide particles into a porous, hydrophilic matrix, and enhancing the surface with specialized treatments for quick droplet absorption, our films achieve fast and effective pathogen inactivation. What makes this solution attractive is its durability, versatility, and ease of integration—it can be applied as spray coatings, adhesive films, or incorporated into fabrics, all while maintaining desirable traits like transparency and neutral appearance. Unlike traditional disinfectants that require constant reapplication, our technology offers continuous protection even under frequent cleaning or abrasion, reducing maintenance costs and enhancing safety in high-traffic environments such as healthcare facilities, public transport, and retail spaces.
